LOCALLY GROWN GARDENS CLOSES IN ON 10 YEARS OF SLOW-ROASTED, FRESH-BAKED SUCCESS Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Michael Thierwechter

Locally Grown Gardens (LGG) on East 54th Street is part farm market, part restaurant, part grocery and part specialty store. It’s been a popular, if somewhat under-the-radar, local destination for nearly 10 years, and Mark Troiano, Indy native and LGG employee since 2014,

says the establishment’s eclectic, hard-todefine concept sprang from quite humble beginnings.

thriving, year-round business he would have to diversify and began offering a seasonal lunch and dinner menu, a store replete with produce and canned goods, as well Owner and chef Ron Harris opened LGG as fresh baked pies that have become the in 2008 in a space then occupied by a vacant establishment’s bread and butter. gas station, with the sole intent of selling produce from local farmers. Harris, who “The 10-year period since we opened studied at the Culinary Institute of America has been an evolution,” Troiano says. in New York, soon realized that to operate a “It’s become a place that guests from our atBrip.com / OCTOBER 2017 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 7

community, and even people who come from out of town, really enjoy. Ron worked at the MCL cafeteria for 10 years, and he developed solid relationships with a bunch of farmers all around the state and Midwest, too. We source locally from places like Tuttle Orchards east of Indy and Goin’s Blueberry Lane in northern Indiana.”

Outside you’ll find rustic dining tables, stacked firewood and a sizeable grilling area where hog roasts are served up seasonally.

Enter the front door and you’re almost instantly hit with aromas from seasonal flowers and pies that are continually being prepped in the kitchen. The walls inside are lined with jams, jellies, cheeses, sodas and wines from local and regional purveyors, as well as a large collection of cookbooks – many of which are from Harris’s personal collection.

“We have quite a few people that we see often – there’s one guy I always see who gets our dinners usually twice a week,” says Troiano, the only other full-time LGG employee along with Harris. “It’s great to see that connection with the community.”

Troiano says LGG has become synonymous with the pies it regularly churns out, including sugar cream and apple year-round, as well as seasonal favorites like pumpkin and pecan in the fall. Store browsers will also find sets of Laguiole silverware and Pillivuyt porcelain dishes for sale, and Troiano says LGG is one of only two locations in the state to offer the latter.

“I think we’ve been able to be successful by providing the highest quality products we can at a very affordable price,” Troiano adds. “Particularly with our restaurant menu and our pies. That’s what brings a lot of our customers in. We’re always trying to serve the community by being respectful and helpful and leave customers feeling good. When you have that kind of strong relationship with the community, everyone benefits from that.”

Locally Grown Gardens is located at 1050 East 54th Street, next to the Monon Trail in Broad Ripple. Call 317-255-8555 or visit locallygrowngardens.com for more info.

Twen ty Tap Reo pens Aft er Fi re Writer & Photographer / Stephanie Duncan

Your favorite SoBro taproom is back and ready to serve. After a minor kitchen fire closed Twenty Tap for about six months, owner Kevin Matalucci was able to remodel the kitchen and add a few updates to the main taproom. With the reopen, people were itching to get back inside.

“The support has been overwhelming,” Matalucci says when describing the over two hour wait in the first day of reopening and said how he would have people stop by daily to check if it would be open soon.

“The attitude [on Twenty Tap closing] went from sympathy, empathy, to anxiousness, to anger” he laughs. Matalucci even had a 10 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2017 / atBRip.com

handful of regulars take the day off and have coffee outside so they could be the first ones through the door when it opened.

Twenty Tap has been booming ever since reopening on Aug. 22, people are waiting to dine to show their support. Thanks to lossof-income insurance, Matalucci was able to bring back all the staff.

“What I heard most when we were closed is that people missed the staff,” he says. “We are truly grateful for our staff and happy they are all back working with us.”

When you walk into Twenty Tap, you won’t notice any major changes, but they made some minor updates to freshen up the main dining area and bar.

A fresh coat of paint, new sound panes, and the more noticeable new mural that was painted by an employee gives the bar a nice update. Along with the cosmetic changes, the real work was in the kitchen. The kitchen got a complete remodel by removing the drop ceiling for better airflow, moving some walls for more space and updated appliances.

Matalucci has been in the beer business for more than 20 years, formally being a brewer over at the Broad Ripple Brewpub.

“I’ve always loved the beer business and wanted to do something of my own and this bar is it”, he says. You can see his handiwork all over the bar, including all of the woodwork that was crafted by him.

So, let’s celebrate the return of a neighborhood staple with a brew.

Located at 5406 N. College Ave, Twenty Tap has more than 20 beers (38 to be exact) that are constantly changing to fit the season. You can stop in for a beer, and their food is worth trying, too.

MEET THE CREW

CREW CARWASH DELIVERS DYNAMIC CUSTOMER SERVICE, ONE WASH AT A TIME

In 1978, the company switched to an exterior-only concept, so they could deliver a fast and quick experience for the In 1948, brothers Joe and Ed Dahm started customer. Then in 1985, they opened their Mike’s Minit Man, Indiana’s first automated first location in Indianapolis on Allisonville carwash and one of only 18 in operation in Road. Through the years, they’ve added the U.S. Located in Ft. Wayne, it was initially multiple locations and currently have 23 in a full-service carwash, which included both the Indy area. interior and exterior care.

Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Brian Brosmer

“Back then they would attach a chain to the vehicle and pull it through the wash on a conveyer, then hand-scrub it,” says Sally Dahm Grant, Joe’s granddaughter and current Executive Vice President of the company.

Through the years, technology has changed significantly and now includes computercontrolled equipment and touchless hot air dryers. One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the company motto on which the founders built their business.

“My grandfather and his brother believed strongly in treating people the way you want to be treated,” says Grant, whose father, Bill, is the CEO. “That goes for both our customers and our employees.”

The family later dropped the words “Minit Man” so it read Mike’s Carwash.

“We were blessed to be here in the mid-80s when the city was vibrant and experiencing explosive growth,” Grant says.

Three years ago, Bill Dahm and his brother, Mike, went through a friendly reorganizing of the business in which they divided the locations between them. Mike took 19, many of them in Ohio. Bill kept 26, most of them in the Indianapolis area, and changed the name to Crew Carwash.

“Other than the name, nothing has changed,” Grant says. “We’re still familyowned. We’re still committed to delivering dynamite customer service. We’re still surrounded by positive, high-energy people.”

Grant, a graduate of Indiana University, worked in Chicago and Cincinnati before returning to her roots 14 years ago to join the team in a marketing capacity.

INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com

“My grandfather always said, ‘We’re really in the people business. We just happen to wash cars,’” Grant says.

“Joe said that nobody cares about what you did last week or last year, they only remember their last visit,” adds Tom Wiederin, recruiting director for Crew for the past 17 years. “That’s why it’s vital to never become complacent so that we consistently deliver the ‘wow experience’ to customers.”

It seems to be working as Grant says when customers speak about the Crew Carwash experience, the first thing they mention isn’t how sparkling clean their car is but rather how dazzled they are by the team who washed it. That team is assembled by careful design. Many are high school and college students with stellar attitudes and winning smiles. The company also hires talented individuals into its fast-track management program, which starts at a competitive annual salary.

“The bulk of these people come from the restaurant and retail industry because they have experience managing and leading a team,” Wiederin says. “That makes them successful candidates.”

In addition, the company offers up to $2,500 of tuition assistance to college students, which they can use on rent, books or other expenses. Employees appreciate the perks and pay but mostly they like the respect they receive.

“When we survey our employees, the number one thing they like about working here isn’t the comp time or the scheduling or even the paycheck,” Grant says. “It’s their colleagues. That’s why we have good retention.”

Wiederin agrees.

“We can teach skills, but we can’t teach a great work ethic,” he says. “We make a point to hire people with happy demeanors and good attitudes.”

That happiness, in turn, extends to even the smallest, most discerning customer.

Years ago, Joe (the founder) noticed that children were scared to go through the automatic carwash. To help ease their anxiety, Joe purchased several stuffed puppets and set them out throughout the carwash, making sure to have one in the blower room so that the experience would be fondly anticipated rather than dreaded.

“That tradition started decades ago, and it’s one we’ve carried on at all our locations,” says Grant, noting that they switch out the toys every few weeks and spend thousands of dollars monthly on the fuzzy friends.

“Not many businesses have a line item budget for stuffed animals.”

Joe is now 90 and a grandfather and great-grandfather. He lives in Ft. Wayne except for the months he spends wintering in Florida.

“His attention to detail and sincere customer focus is unparalleled,” says Grant, proud to carry on the family legacy. “We strive to continue on what he started.”

PUTTING THE GARDEN TO BED IN OCTOBER

INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com

Writer / Carrie Petty

The subtle transition from late summer to fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Indiana.

I have always said, “No one does fall better than Indiana!” And it’s true. The colors are so vibrant in our state. So, get out there and enjoy these autumn days. Many chores to get done right now, this is the month to put the gardens to bed for winter.

There are lots of seed heads to collect in the garden for re-sowing in the springtime, and do not forget the birds. Keep those feeders clean and full to the brim. They will be hungry as the berries get eaten and insects become less available. Begin your winter prep by cutting back perennials and cleaning up yard debris. Also, this is a great time to put down your lawn weed prevention for spring weeds. If you do not want dandelions, this is the time to treat.

This year we have a very high chance of an abundantly vibrant foliage season. Carbohydrates and sugars are not just about watching a girl’s waistline, they also have a great deal to do with the colors that appear on our Indiana foliage. When our fall season is at the peak (around October 15), we should see an abundance of reds, purples and oranges. I press leaves and bring in acorns to dry for my fall dinner table centerpieces. A little touch of gold spray paint is great on the acorn caps.

The United States National Arboretum states that, “A growing season with ample moisture that is followed by a rather dry, cool, sunny autumn that is marked by warm days and cool but frostless nights provides the best weather conditions for development of the brightest fall colors. Lack of wind and rain in the autumn prolongs the display.

Wind or heavy rain may cause the leaves to be lost before they develop their full color potential.”

We are headed for the perfect mix here in the Hoosier State this autumn.

When the days are sunny, I love to drive down the Indiana country roads and forage for great flowers to hang-up and dry for fall arrangements. I use my back-hall closet to dry flowers, because it is dark and I have a great closet shelf rod I use. Goldenrod is one of my favorites to harvest. Many believe it is what people get hay fever from but that is an honest mistake because it looks much like the culprit, Ragweed. God is an amazing creator. There are more than 100 different types of just Goldenrod.

Who knew?

CARRIE’S FALL GARDEN CHECKLIST Cut perennials back to 3 inches high, but leave some seed heads for the birds Be sure to shake any full seed heads back into the Garden Harvest all final flowers and veggies Plant bulbs, bulbs and more bulbs until ground freezes Harden off plants to bring indoors, stop bugs by misting 1-part rubbing alcohol to 10-part water.

IKEA FISHERS OPENS ITS DOORS OCTOBER 11

Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Jamie Sangar

Representatives from the new IKEA home furnishings retail store in Fishers will be getting out their celebratory saw on Wednesday, October 11 when the store officially opens to the public at 9 a.m.

Yes, a saw – you read that correctly. In lieu of a traditional ribbon cutting, Sweden-based IKEA commemorates e ach new store opening with an official log-sawing ceremony.

“Under Swedish custom, sawing a log helps bring good luck to a new home and its INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com

future guests,” explains Joseph Roth, IKEA public affairs manager for U.S. expansion.

“So, that’s how we inaugurate IKEA stores.”

After officially filing building plans with the city of Fishers back in November of 2015, IKEA will celebrate its grand opening less than two years later with furniture was

live music starting at 6 a.m., and a formal ceremony featuring the raising of the American, Swedish and Indiana flags and brief remarks from IKEA representatives and public officials. The store is the company’s 45th in the U.S. Customers can begin lining up to enter two days in advance of the 9 a.m. opening for the freebies and festivities – the company welcomes tents and sleeping bags, and employees typically even organize games and activities to help pass the time for those willing to wait for long stretches. If past grand openings are any indication, the store will give out a number of free sofas corresponding to the number of U.S. IKEA stores.

While the company has not announced giveaway details for the Fishers grand opening, giveaways at past openings throughout the U.S. have included armchairs, mattresses and gift cards, as well as free home delivery for those making purchases on the day of the opening.

Founded in 1943 in Sweden, IKEA specializes in affordable and mostly unassembled furniture, appliances and home accessories at more than 390 stores in 48 countries. Roth says the Fishers location, at the 116th Street exit on the east side of Interstate 69, seemed like a no-brainer when the company TownePost.com / OCTOBER 2017 / INDY METRO

seeking out the right spot for its next U.S. store a few years ago.

“Whenever we’re looking for locations for an IKEA store, we’re looking for good freeway access and visibility,” he says. “The access there on I-69 is just so easy. We wanted it to be fairly accessible to all points within the metropolitan area.”

The 289,000-square-foot store, which sits on 35 acres, features solar panels on its roof, a children’s play area inside and a restaurant that seats 325. Roth says the 250-plus employees hired for the store are mostly locals – including Indiana native Holly Davidson, who will serve as store manager – and a few transfers from other U.S. IKEA locations.

“The city of Fishers was very organized with a clear vision,” Roth says of the planning and construction process.

“They had already planned for addressing infrastructure support for anything that could go in that location, so it seemed like a great fit. People around the city are very excited and welcoming for IKEA. Many of them have shopped at other IKEA stores and recognize how it can increase the draw to other businesses in the area.”

IKEA is located at 11400 IKEA Way in Fishers, near the intersection of 116th Street and I-69. For more information, call (888) 888-4532 or go to ikea.com.

THE LEGACY OF THE 1987 PAN-AM GAMES INDIANAPOLIS CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE EVENT Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies Photos provided by the City of Indianapolis

The vision to utilize sports to revitalize downtown Indianapolis’ image was part of a strategic plan that started nearly 50 years ago. Unique opportunities along the way opened the door for the city of Indianapolis, which recently celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the Pan American Games. The 1987 Pan Am Games not only were successfully produced by the city of Indianapolis but were the most successful in Olympic history and became the catalyst that established Indianapolis as the Amateur Sports Capitol of the World.

The Indianapolis Mayors Office and Parks and Recreation Department hosted a panel discussion in August to discuss the event and the impact it had on the city.

“The City That Pan Am Built: How Indy Became the Amateur Sports Capitol of the World” featured local business and community leaders that were instrumental in the 1987 Games. The panel discussion held at Garfield Park Arts Center, featured three prominent leaders on the Pan Am Games Indianapolis Organizing Committee knowns as PAX/I. Bill Benner, now Senior Vice President of the Indiana Pacers, was a sports reporter for the Indianapolis

Star back during the games, served as the moderator for the panel which included Ted Boehm, retired Indiana Supreme Court Justice and lawyer who helped launch many of the city’s premier sporting events and Mark Miles, President and CEO of Hulman & Company, the former President of the Pan Am Games. Susan Zurbuchen, Associate Professor and Chair of the Arts INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com

Department at Butler University, was the coordinator of the 1987 Pan Am Games Arts Festival.

“The original idea was to use sports to rebuild the city’s image was born when Congress passed the Amateur Sports Act, which was intended to create sports governing bodies for every sport rather

than allowing a few entities to control all Olympic sports and that there be a governing body for each sport,” according to Boehm, whom Benner called a visionary. “The plan was to strategically make Indianapolis an attractive place to house their headquarters and also provide the facilities that would accommodate their sports. Indianapolis was at the right place at the right time to take advantage of this change in the infrastructure, and they got to work building facilities, the Natatorium, the track and field, a cycling track and continued to build a lot of facilities that a lot of cities simply did not have.”

The city created a sports commission in the late 1970s that would later become the Indiana Sports Corporation. This level of collaboration between civic and business leaders allowed the city’s common goal of reinventing its image to take place more efficiently.

This allowed them to host the 1982 Sports Festival, which gave the country a view into what Indianapolis was creating.

This was the key event which caught the attention of the U.S. Olympic Committee.

The city utilized 3,000 volunteers.

When the 1987 Pan American Games original host, Chile’ backed out and Ecuador had to decline due to a lack of financial resources, Indianapolis received the invitation to bid on the games.

Indianapolis was awarded the games, but had the daunting task of only having two

years to pull the event off.

Despite having only half the time to organize the games, the city thrived in its quest to lead the sporting industry.

They handled political challenges involving Fidel Castro, who threatened to boycott the games, they established a plan to offer not just national media coverage but one that allowed international media coverage, raised the necessary funds and created a diverse staff, which Miles stated was critical.

The organizing committee, known as PAXI, not only raised the $33 million dollars to host the event in under two years, but they saved money with the help

of 36,000 volunteers, and they already had all the facilities in place to host the event. They put themselves in the perfect position and they pulled it off beautifully on the world’s biggest stage.

In the past 30 years, the city has played host to multiple NCAA Regional Tournaments, Final Fours and the NCAA organization eventually relocated here.

Each event cemented the city’s ability to host bigger events, including the Super Bowl in 2012. Indianapolis capitalized on the success, and with each event, the city’s image gained momentum and became the clean, green and vibrant sports “Indiashow-place” city that it is today.

DOUBLE THE TROUBLE, TWICE THE LUCK Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

We’ve all had bad days, but Carmel resident Gerald Miller may well take the prize for the worst one yet. In fact, all his trouble happened in the span of just a few short hours back in October 1982.

Miller, 30 years old at the time, was on active duty in the Navy, stationed as a pharmacist on board the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy.

The aircraft carrier was undergoing refitting in the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, when he made plans to go visit a friend in Norfolk. He hopped in his Chevy Vega and started down the road. Not five minutes into the trip, he noticed that an oncoming car traveling at high speeds wasn’t slowing down prior to the intersection. The hairs on the back of Miller’s neck stood on end as he quickly braced himself for the inevitable.

“I could see that the other driver wasn’t going to stop for the blinking red light and sure enough, she slammed into me, spinning my car so hard that it was turned in the opposite direction,” recalls Miller, who amazingly sustained no injuries. The same could not be said for his Chevy Vega, which was totaled.

After filling out the police report, Miller accompanied the tow truck driver to a local body shop.

“I got a good look at the gun and immediately handed over everything I had,” Miller says. That included his Quartz watch, his keys to the ship’s pharmacy, a master key to all medical spaces on the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy and his wallet, which had cash, his driver’s license, credit cards and military ID. Being wiped clean of all forms of identification proved to be Miller’s third disaster of the night as he had to find a way to prove he was the ship’s pharmacist, not a Soviet spy, to gain access to the ship. (Ultimately, his Division Officer personally identified and cleared him.)

“It was tricky because we were to be deployed to the Mediterranean in the next few days, and I had a lot of loose ends to tie up with the car and my identification prior to leaving,” Miller says. “Boy, that was a long night followed by a trying few days.”

Though Miller was single at the time, his wife of 33 years loves to have him recall the story for those who have never heard it.

“Honestly, my favorite time to share the details of that night is when I’m sitting with people who are complaining about what a rough day they’ve had,” Miller says. “I tell them, ‘Hey, I understand, but believe me, it could be worse.’”

“The driver was lowering the car down off the wrecker when suddenly two young masked men in their mid-20s ambushed us,” Miller says. “They hollered, ‘Get down on the ground!’ and then proceeded to clean out our pockets.”

Once they hear Miller’s wild and crazy tale, they tend to agree.

Nevertheless, Miller recognizes that although that night was one of the worst days of his life, it was also one of the luckiest.

Neither Miller nor the tow truck driver resisted when they saw one of the men was aiming a 38-special revolver at their faces.

“I’m lucky to be alive because I could have been killed twice in a matter of two hours,” Miller says. “After that fateful October evening, all subsequent reunions have felt sweeter.”

After catching up, Metcalf learned that To Dean Metcalf, the story of how he Whitaker’s internship was ending and initially came to be involved with the asked if the comedy-based show, launched Indianapolis-based “Bob & Tom” radio

In late 1987, while studying telecommunications during his senior year at Indiana University, Metcalf heard that Alex Whitaker, a high school friend, was interning with “The Bob & Tom

I knew him,” Metcalf says. “I called the next day and I swear Tom just said, ‘Okay, why don’t you come up and start Friday.’ I got off the phone and realized I needed to talk to my professors and figure out how the heck I was going to make it work. It was crazy. I

wish it was some amazing story where Tom thought I was this great, perfect candidate, but it was plain-old dumb luck and timing.”

Nevertheless, Metcalf ’s fateful internship would blossom into a fruitful career as executive producer of “Bob & Tom”, for which he oversees many of the program’s creative and musically related content.

Thirty years on, Metcalf recalls feeling an immediate connection with Kevoian, Griswold and their staff.

“The chemistry was there from the beginning, and we all got along really well,” says Metcalf, a New Whiteland native. “I

was a really good fit for what they needed, and all of our comedic sensibilities were similar. It was right in my weird little skill set of music and the ins and outs of broadcasting. I couldn’t have designed a better situation for myself.”

As “Bob & Tom” reached national syndication in 1995 and the show’s technical staff grew, Metcalf was able to focus more exclusively on creative content as a producer. He’s assumed many wacky characters on the air and co-written many a silly skit, and while the program includes news, sports coverage and guest interviews, its musical comedy elements will always

hold a special place in his heart.

“I couldn’t say I have a favorite song or skit that we worked on over the years for the show, but I have a lot of fond memories from working on “The Mr. Obvious Show” with Chick McGee,” Metcalf says. “We always did a lot of ad lib for that one, and it was so much fun.”

A musician since the age of 12, Metcalf handles guitar and upright bass duties for a total of five bluegrass and rock bands in his downtime. The most prominent perhaps is The Electric Amish, a parody band he launched with Kyle and Barclay atBrip.com / OCTOBER 2017 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 31

Grayson, the younger brothers of “Bob & Tom” alum Whit Grayson. The band has sold more than 100,000 copies of their albums consisting of popular rock songs comically rewritten from an Amish viewpoint (album titles include “Barn to be Wild”, “Milkin’ It” and “A Hard Day’s Work”).

Metcalf and his wife Shannon, an Irvington native and Broad Ripple High School grad, host a music-filled bash every year called DeanBlossom at their Indy residence, where hundreds of friends, colleagues and fellow musicians gather for a day of pizza, beverages and bluegrass jam sessions. Metcalf ’s collection of more

than 100 musical instruments, amassed since his teenage years, includes a rare C.F. Martin acoustic guitar from the late 1850s.

Every February, Metcalf lends his musical and organizational skills to the Beach Ball, a tropical-themed event benefitting the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home, a shelter for low-income and homeless individuals who are sick or terminally ill. The Tempos, one of his many musical projects, typically provides a rocking live soundtrack for the occasion.

“The people that are taken in at the Abbie

Hunt Bryce Home typically don’t have insurance, and don’t have friends or family or any kind of support,” Metcalf says. “Having lost both my parents to cancer, I can’t imagine what it would have been like to not have insurance and not have anywhere to go. We’ve raised a few hundred thousand dollars through the years to help keep it going.”

on October 21 at Tavern on South.

Metcalf says the wide diversity of his hobbies and professional duties has kept him energized and motivated through the years.

“My job is not exactly like a factory job or something where you know exactly what you’re going to do every day – there’s always a new challenge or a new story,” Also a pet enthusiast with several dogs of he says. “What’s become important to me his own, Metcalf volunteers with Shannon over the years is to have side projects and for Indianapolis Animal Care Services passions so I can go out and play music, (IACS), and serves as one of the organizers and then spend time on charity events and for Howl and Wine, an annual fundraising give back. I find joy in the fact that every event for IACS that will be held this year day is very different.”

Saving homes, saving lives and saving families is what retired Assistant Carmel Fire Chief Jim Martin has done for decades.

It’s a legacy he’s shared and passed down to his two sons, Dave and Rick, and now his grandson D.J., too.

In a world where every second means saving a life, there is little opportunity to take time to appreciate those who keep us safe. But through the Carmel Fire Buffs Museum, Martin is giving everyone in the Carmel community a place to honor and appreciate the men who’ve dedicated their lives to serving others.

Such was his life that he got a call from Hoosier Fire Equipment in Valparaiso about a fire truck available for sale. Jim went up to Valpo to look at the rescue truck, a 1953 Seagraves from the Kokomo Fire Department. Hoosier Fire was asking $2,000 for the truck, and Jim wanted it badly. He negotiated with the dealer who agreed to sell it for $1,000. Needing to come up with the money quickly, Jim phoned the department and told the Lieutenant to phone 10 people and ask for a $100 donation to start a Fire Buffs club. The Lieutenant found not just 10 donors but 18, and the Carmel Fire Buffs Club was born.

Now, visitors to the Carmel Fire Buffs and Fire Department Museum can see the 1953 Seagraves and a collection of other special fire rescue trucks. Each one has a story, as Jim will gladly share. Stories like the one behind the 1922 Dennis fire engine which made its way to the United States all the way from Masterton, New Zealand. Jim hasn’t been able to trace the fire engine’s full history, but once it arrived in Carmel, Martin began restoring it to its full glory.

“Our family lived there, but we were always at the station,” he adds. “We came here to celebrate birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s home.

Our dispatcher at the time, Sally Lafollette, would take care of us and even changed my diaper here in the basement.”

So through the years, Jim went on raising his sons and taking care of his fire department family. Applying his mechanics skills, he helped repair and maintain the trucks and the building in between fire runs, saving the department hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. The department had not just become his family, it was his life.

consultants Mark Diaz and Michael Tipps.

If you haven’t had the time to check out the new location with two names, Good Conduct and Miss Behavin Lounge just recently opened its doors in the heart of Broad Ripple and are eager to make sure you have a good time.

“Originally, we weren’t going to remodel, but that changed quickly,” Prudhomme says.

Along with consultants, he decided on two concepts that will deliver two different, but fun experiences.

Located at 1001 Broad Ripple Avenue, owner David Prudhomme decided to transform the former 10-01 restaurant with a whole new concept with the help of

Upstairs, there is Good Conduct which is a 21 and older dining area with a giant balcony and plenty of seating. There’s also a new menu that is perfect for sharing with a group of friends. They serve their unique 34 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2017 / atBRip.com

take on American cuisine, while making sure to only use fresh ingredients.

“We try to put together unusual combinations while not making the food too expensive and off the wall,” says Managing Partner, Brian Mazurkiewicz. The owner’s favorite menu item is a bleu cheese stuffed burger called the Tipsy Burger.

Fresh is the theme that permeates through the menu, to the cocktails. All their signature cocktails are made with

freshly squeezed juice. If you visit, I recommend the Elian G., which is made with fresh lime and strawberry mixed with Rum and simple syrup.

“Good Conduct is where you can start your night and where you’re on better behavior,” Prudhomme says.

“Downstairs has the atmosphere that’s a little louder, with a live DJ where you can have a little more fun”.

When you’re done dining upstairs at Good Conduct, you can head downstairs to Good Conduct’s alter ego, Miss Behavin. It’s like a little speakeasy dive bar with an elegant long bar and intimate seating, with a dance floor in the middle. You’ll feel like a VIP with bottle service as well. Miss Behavin is definitely a place where anyone can let loose and have fun.

A Practice You Know You Can

Trust.

“It’s not a sports bar, you’re not going to be staring at a TV. It’s more a place you can come with your friends and enjoy the night,” Prudhomme says.

If you’re looking for a new place to check out in the Broad Ripple area, Good Conduct & Miss Behavin is located right on Broad Ripple Avenue, right next to the Monon Trail. Good Conduct is open Wednesday through Sunday and Miss Behavin opens for the weekend on Fridays and Saturdays.
