'This is the place that can be made fabulous.' Indiana Avenue is a historically Black commercial and residential corridor that runs from 16th Street to Capitol Avenue. nicopennisitv
Indiana Avenue is a historically Black commercial and residential corridor. It runs from 16th Street to Capitol Avenue.
Lifelong resident Demarcus Carter says he’s happy to see the City focus its energy on this historically underserved district. “Dad started this store in 1948, so this is our 75th year in business,” second generation owner Rick Oldham said.“The clubs on Indiana Avenue were completely different. They were clubs where musicians could go and play and the Black public could come and go to those clubs. In fact, most of them were Black only," Oldham said."That’s where they got a chance to play, a chance to perform."Polley says while music played a big part in the Avenue's vibrancy, it was so much more.
