Near East Side
The beloved "Charlie Brown" building was slated for demolition by the city a couple of years ago, but was recently rehabilitated, with support from a Local Initiatives Support Coalition facade grant.
In the 1940s, the diminutive brick building was home to a repair shop for radios, toasters and irons under names Radio Home Appliance Service and Clark's Radio Services according to the IndyStar. It was also home to a liquor store and hamburger joint. The article further goes on to state:
In the 1950s, it was briefly a Hoffman's package liquor store, then a burger joint with various names: George's Grill, White Steamer, Bud's Grill and Ed's Grill.
