38th and Meridian is a decent area. Go a few miles east or west am it goes down hill fast! Straight north on meridian, past 465 is the Carmel area. Pretty high fallutin' area with several hotels and places to eat. There is a new JW Marriott on the near West side, on Washington near the ballpark and the Eiteljorg Musem (worth a trip if you're in the area). 465 makes a loop around te city, I-70 bisects it east to west and I-65 goes from Northwest to South. Much of 65 & 70 inside 465 are closed off right now for construction. Honestly, I don't feel unsafe in any part of te city (the east side doesn't have the best reputation, but I live west). Far as I know, your carry permit is valid here. There are a few good restaurants I'd recommend, depending on how much you want to spend and what kind of good you are looking for. Ruth Crist Steakhouse is amazing, Bucca-di-Beppos is really good Italian family style, both are downtown. The airport is on the west/southwest side of town so there are plenty of hotels out that way, and some decent ones out near me.

Feel free to give me a call some evening. Tonight I have to come back into work for a shutdown, but any other evening would work. Cell number is 317-695-ninety nine, fifty four.

When are you headed this way? I'd be glad to meet you in person and take you for a tour of the gun room!
