I came to Indianapolis to take a class through the Hoosier State Chapter of the Appraisal…read moreInstitute. This review is strictly a review of the Chapter in relation to how well they hosted this course. I was impressed with the level of communication received from the Chapter prior to the course. I received a confirmation order after I purchased my course. I received my course materials several weeks before the course began. I also received a final reminder email in the week leading up to the course. Since the weather was MISERABLE, the only improvement in communication would have been if they would have called us the morning of to confirm that the course was not going to be delayed. There was a major snow storm, the first day of class. The Chapter made sure there was tea and coffee available during the course (thank you!). The facility was clean and the chairs were comfortable. I appreciated that there were an appropriate number of plug-ins available for everyone to use. The only had two small environment concerns: the temperature was quite cold throughout the course. Granted, it was 5 degrees outside... but I wore my vest and jacket during most of the class. Second, we used a projector in the course, and it was a bit frustrating that you could not turn the lights down in the front of the room. That would have made the projector much easier to see. Instead, we fought quite a bit of glare. All in all, thank you for hosting a well organized course!

Everything was set up nicely and it was much brighter and cleaner. They don't have as many vendors but some like the record stall is the same. They have a good amount of parking and 2 or 3 designated spots right out front. Be aware the new address is 170 W Carmel Drive. The Kirby Building.

I was tempted by a pair of salt and pepper shakers but ultimately did not make a purchase. If you are searching for something in particular I suggest you pay a visit to the Antique Emporium and visit the Carmel Antique Mall as well since it is nearby. Both times I was there, one employee was sitting at the desk available for assistance. The parking lot has ample parking. I am not sure of the future of the strip mall since I believe the nearby strip mall with SoHo cafe is closing Dec 30 permanently and slated to be demolished.
