Q: Parking?

A:  3 Locations to Choose from:
1) Total Wine / Monon Parking. 
This lines up with the Monon and walking across is very easy. There is the light at 86th street which takes time but not complicated to get across. (Nora Corners Shopping Center, 1460 E 86th St, Indianapolis, IN 46240)

2) Whole Foods, Culinary Dropout, Etc Parking. 
This is across the Monon as well with easy access. It is less than a 10-minute walk and no one would tow. (1300 E 86th St, Indianapolis, IN 46240)

3) Empty building North of the YMCA. 
This building no longer has occupants and has easy access to the Monon. People would not need to cross 86th which definitely makes it easier. (8450 Westfield Blvd, Indianapolis, IN 46240)
