It's a co-working space, for those who have small businesses or work from home. The guy working the front (Ja'ir) was so kind and helpful, he answered all of our questions and told us a little bit about the place. The name P30 reflects where it is, which is 30th and post. He informed us that the facility is for the community, to rebrand the far east side, I love that! Inside you'll find a coffee shop, which wasn't open when I came, but I'd love to come back and try it out. They offer day passes to utilize what they have to offer or you can become a member. The building is fairly new and each room has a name that relates to the east side. The room we worked in was called "The Mitt" which refers to the street "Mitthoefer." They have gender neutral restroom along with designated women/men restroom stalls. The restrooms were clean, but the water to wash my hands was very cold. They have a large parking lot for easy access. I'm thinking of using a day pass to have a study session, try the coffee, and explore more of what this place has to offer.

They have different prices for memberships or to rent out a suite. I find P30 to be very nice especially for the community out on 30th and Post. The worker Ja'ir had explained to me the meaning behind P30 the last time I was there. I had enjoyed my talk with his because you can understand the passion behind P30 especially with them trying to pour into the community out there and to help the community to understand they too can be business people. There is a coffee shop inside there but it wasn't open when I was there. I see the prices are very reasonable. If you are looking for a space to work out of definitely check out P30 if you are in the area and need something because they give out day passes.

It was a space I instantly fell in love with, a wonderful mix of contemporary amenities, local history, and respect for the people of Martindale-Brightwood. As a graduate of Martin University (RIP) myself, I recognized much of what I experienced at Polklore and I knew that I would return. As a Yelp Elite, I'm respectful of the boundaries around not reviewing a business during an "event" for a variety of reasons that make sense to me. The Polklore Micro-Museum celebrates the story of the Polk Dairy and the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood. It's a "micro-museum" with purpose, both engaging the senses and encouraging conversations about cultural preservation. Polklore Micro-Museum comes out of the Harrison Center's neighborhood program. The space itself is quite cool, and there's a good amount of parking available. Tours do require advanced planning, and the mixture of artistic mediums is really quite inspired. Mostly, I am grateful that the museum honors a neighborhood that I think gets a bad rap. While there are certainly challenges faced by Martindale-Brightwood, I've long appreciated the area and to this day don't really live that far from it. CO-Hatch always seems to have some very cool spaces, but I don't think there's any question this is my favorite. Some of Indy's iconic artists, Kipp Normand comes to mind, are involved with this project and this is just truly an outstanding effort in every way.

It's free to enter but they do have a little area off to the side if you wanted to make a donation. Inside was full of old police cars, motorcycles, flags, uniforms, tons of pictures, and so much more. We brought 2 toddlers and I probably wouldn't recommend that unless they're strapped in a stroller or are very mindful. A lot of the displays have signs that state, "Do not touch." That was hard for them to understand when everything looked so cool. They're only open certain days so check online before you make the trip. I would recommend checking this place out!

There is no charge to visit the museum. I took my granddaughter today because she likes mechanical things. There is a scavenger hunt for the kids that helps them learn about different police history. The kids can even do their fingerprints. The museum has about nine iterations of immaculately maintained police cars including a double sided car that is mind boggling. I enjoyed reading about the history of famous resident, James Dillinger. Old polygraph machines, breathalyzers, cameras, and finger print technology are on display. A wall of photos of fallen officers is also a good reminder of how police put their lives on the line to keep us safe. The tour is self guided and takes about an hour to complete. Reservations are not required. Staff is available if you have questions. We picked up a coloring book and a state map. There is also other information available. There is a small gift shop if you want a shirt. Restroom facilities are also available. There is plenty of parking including close handicapped parking.

There were two individuals helping to direct parking which helped tremendously. The beautiful Zyntango Farm Barn is an authentic 1800's barn with modern amenities. It's an event venue for weddings, receptions, graduations, bridal showers, family reunions, corporate retreats and special events. It's located about 5 minutes from Whitestown on the NW side of Indy in the countryside. Just 3 miles off of I-65, one exit north of the Zionsville exit and less than 30 minutes from downtown Indy. The barn is two stories with a flight of stairs. I'm not sure of the barn capacity but I would think this is best for a small to medium size event. The free Holiday Market had approximately 18 - 20 vendors in attendance. Cork and Wine Barrel was there along with a jewelry artist, a tattoo artist and Fantasy face painter, chocolate and cookie makers, a candle maker, a variety of signs, a small boutique, a lap blanket quilter and an artist displaying her oil paintings. One of the vendors, Keepsakes By Design, does personalized itching in glass cookware which is perfect for our bakers in the family. A couple of small food and beverage vendors were onsite with BBQ sandwiches, hot chocolate and soda. I found several vendors that is perfect for hostess gifts and family Christmas presents. So glad we took the time to visit today.

I was here for a bridal open house and the entire staff was wonderful from the moment I arrived. Parking was not an issue everything was handled in that area.

You are able to rent the space for any occasion which I found awesome and many of the working relationships they have established to provide services are amazing. A sunset gathering here would be amaze balls. Just beautiful. If given the opportunity to check out the newly finished improvements made by all means do.

For those looking for the Museum at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument (middle of Monument Circle)…read moreto find this museum, you are looking in the wrong place. Back in 2018, the collection was moved to the Indiana World War Monument (431 N Meridian) to provide more display space and to do repair work under the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. As of the time of this review, the collection has been moved for over a year and my thoughts are part of the review listed on that location. According to the staff working in the Soldiers and Sailors gift shop (located on the south side of the monument at the top of the steps), something new will occupy the space under the monument once repairs have been completed. It has not been released what will go in the space. Review #2581

This is a FREE MUSEUM, so that alone bumped up the stars to at least four. Add in the fact that the museum is Indiana-centric, in the basement of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, is dark and super creepy, has really cool artifacts including a chunk of tree trunk with a cannon ball stuck in it that soldiers cut from Gettysburg and brought back here, how could I not give it five stars?!?! - It's free, but don't be a jerk - donate a couple bucks. - You won't need much time. If you only skim the exhibits, you will be out in five minutes. Read every card and you might be there an hour. - Did I mention, please donate to this lovely free museum? - Read the medical treatment cards and be so grateful we live in a time of modern medicine. - Can't figure out where to get in? The entrance is on the southwest side of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument (Monument Circle).

It's no secret that I'm a fan of CoHatch, a 30+ location network of co-working, community spaces…read morethat has been in existence for just under 10 years since its start by six friends in Columbus, Ohio. CoHatch, which has hosted at least a couple Yelp events that I can remember, currently has five locations in Central Indiana (a sixth, Circle Centre, I believe has closed). The locations include Polk Stables, Zionsville, Carmel, Noblesville, and this location in Broad Ripple. This location is housed in a former church (I know it used to be Common Grounds and I'm pretty certain it was at least one church before that). There's still some of the stained glass windows present. Managed by Jenna, whom I met during a Polk Stables Yelp event, this location seems to be quite busy. While I didn't get a chance to go around it as much as I'd have liked as I was here for an actual meeting, I was impressed with the decor, amenities, the people I met, and the efforts to make it accessible. Let's start there. Not every CoHatch location is truly accessible - they tend to locate in unique and often historic buildings. This can create challenges to true accessibility. This location has accessible parking in the back along with a ramp that goes up to one of the doorways. If you're not a member, you'll have to be let in. I wasn't completely thrilled with the end of the ramp - it's got a bit of a lip to it, however, the effort is obvious and it definitely works. The parking is also truly ADA compliant. I didn't notice all the businesses here, however, I did note that the Sagamore Institute maintains offices here. This location has the usual coworking spaces, a large event space, an outdoor area with a patio and kitchen, a sports simulator, and private offices. They have high-speed Wifi, coffee/tea options, meeting rooms (we used one to record an interview), 24/7 access, phone booths, office supplies, mailbox service, printing/copying, workshops for members, a kitchen, and an onsite manager. The neighborhood feels safe and is a pretty easy jaunt over to Broad Ripple's main strip. I like the decor, though found it a bit more plain than some of the locations. I think Polk Stables remains my favorite of the Central Indiana locations. This location is probably the closest to my home and it's definitely someplace I could see myself working. As someone who does a lot of social outreach/charity work, I definitely saw spaces I could bring to life here. I also did notice the restroom offered nice accessibility and there were some personal supplies in the restrooms - nice touch. I'd wanted to stop into this place and was pleased when I found out a meeting was going to be here. I finally got to check it out and was definitely impressed.

I liked that they had maintained the structure and tried to continue the architectural flairs and quiet spaces yet allowing for new design inside. It is used for various offices and you can either rent out an office space (small cubicle) or just work in one of the many co-work spaces. It was tasteful and expansive but also had several little nooks for a quieter space. There were outside spaces and even a Barbeque space that could be rented for parties or business outings. My meeting was a fun way to be exposed to this location and will definitely be returning to try out some of the other spots for meetings or work.

This exhibit breaks the presentation into parts that give older kids and adults something to enjoy while at the museum for just another $5 each. When you first step in, there is a holding area with a preview of some of the items you will see. Some are actual artifacts while some are plaster casts of the originals so that you can share in viewing a wider range of items. After a short wait, those gathered will be taken into a viewing room where there is a brief presentation giving you a background refresher before entering the main collection area. The presentation uses some state of the art technology to bring the items next to the screen to life. After the film and presentation (roughly 5 minutes), the doors open and you can wander around the large collection area to explore the different facets of Greek life. There is a section devoted to governance, to the arts, to sports, to mythology, and more. There are golden jewelry and crowns, elaborate pottery, and even an early computer that was found underwater after the ship carrying it sank. Note that there are some interactive items for kids who need to be doing something rather than just looking. There were also a couple interactive presentations that were taking place with the staff who were providing more information about the topic. Very cool and fascinating way to refresh your appreciation of those who came before us. The exhibit runs through Jan 5, 2020, so get there soon! Review #3420
