The Meadows Shopping Center. Not in Brightwood but we went there alot. It was a big deal when I was growing up. It was on 38th Street. Before the Malls. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Meadows area was the place to live, work and play. It was home to one of the first premier shopping centers in Indianapolis. The Avondale Playhouse booked nationally known entertainers during the summer months. The apartments in the area were the first Indianapolis homes of business people and professionals, many of whom subsequently assumed important leadership positions in the Indianapolis community. Then, in the 1970s, concentrated poverty became the theme in urban areas nationwide. 2nd photo Hooks Drug Store 1957 3rd Danners Grand Opening Oct 30 1965. Remeber The Meadows?
