Trying to find out what Mass Ave was like in late 90's-early 2000's
Just looking for any kind of anecdotes that can help me picture what downtown was like back then, I've been writing a short story for fun that I decided to set primarily on Mass Ave bc it's my favorite place to hang out but it ended up having to be set in 2002 and I don't have many clear memories of Indy from when I was a kid.
In particular I started with trying to find out what used to be at 448 where the Moar Tea is now, across from Chatterbox and the Old National Center, I've already gone on a bit of a news article deep dive with a friend and we weren't able to find anything about the address prior to the Hoaglin Cafe, which didn't open until 2004 after the story would've already ended </3
I figured my best bet now is to just try asking people who might've lived here back then. I'd be very interested in any information about what Mass Ave was like in that era and how it's changed. Thank you :)
