We spent the weekend in Indianapolis, and one of my favorite things to do when I’m there is to take a long, slow drive down Meridian Street.
It’s a drive I took every day when I lived there, traveling from the North side all the way downtown to my job at the Indiana Statehouse.
The commute was never too bad because I got to pass beautiful old houses like these!
Oh, man. I wish I could find an old photo to send you. I did do the GlamourShots thing back in the early 90’s, but I have no idea where that pic is.
What great house photos you took! I can’t wait to see more. It does sound like you pinpointed Quayle’s house, doesn’t it?
There are some fabulous houses there! I’m glad you had a great trip 🙂
Indy is my old stomping grounds! I grew up there and my son lives in Anderson. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit and were able to reconnect with friends there!
Yes Julia, I did miss you! But I’m glad you had such a delightful time. The pics were wonderful and what a treat for you to catch up with your friend.

I love Meridian Drive!!! I love Carmel, too…I always thought though if my dh got a job in Kokomo, we would look in Noblesville…it’s a bit closer to Kokomo than Carmel and has all of that charm that us house-lovers drool over 🙂
Looks like you had a nice visit 🙂
Can’t wait for your BIG news 🙂

PS: People think you are a decorator because your house is so beautiful 🙂
Yay! You’re back from your trip and I’m back from my drug induced tooth coma LOL
Those homes are beautiful!! How sweet that your hubby put on the blinkers so you could take pics 🙂
What a wonderful way for your friend to celebrate her husband’s life. I’m glad she was able to move past her pain. I can’t even imagine.
I can’t wait to hear about your surprise!!

Those homes are so beautiful! I think they’re all my dream home. Congrats on having such a good time on your trip and I can’t wait to see the homearama pics.
Great homes! I live in a small town called Meridian, so I’m partial to that name!

Oh! You are a quintessential house snooper/stalker…wear your badge with pride, girl!
Gorgeous…looking forward to more!
Beautiful drive.
My favorite is the tudor. It looks homey to me.
Thanks for risking an arrest to share with us.

Can’t wait to see the pictures!
You are the real deal, Julia–you with your hazard lights on!!!
Welcome back–love these homes. Can’t wait to see what else you have for us.
Or…maybe Dan Quayle is a drug lord holed up inside?! I think I prefer my bastardization of your observation. 😉
Those houses are lovely. I’m a big fan of old tudors, so many of these are total eye candy to me. I have to try and dig up a photo..,I can’t seem to find any!! (I probably burned them…)
I live in Indy and most of the homes you have pictured are very familiar to me. They’re are absolutely beautiful! I love your site and will become a frequent visitor from now on. Thanks for showing off our beautiful city!
Oops: *they are*. : /
I’m also in Indianapolis and am giddy that you posted these…we drive down Meridian fairly often and I always have bf drive so I can drool. Then I go home and put another quarter in my piggy bank for my future Meridian Street down payment. Someday…
Thanks for visiting!
