Broad Ripple Ave, Indianapolis city (balance)

Broad Ripple is known to locals as "Broad Ripple Village", and has a plethora of dining, entertainment, and shopping opportunities. Located near downtown, the atmosphere of Broad Ripple is vastly different from the inner city. Populated mostly by college students and more independent, artistic types of all ages, Broad Ripple emits a laid-back atmosphere. Some of the city's best niche clothing shops are located in the Village, as well as Metamorphosis, a popular tattoo shop. There are bars and clubs galore, and there is a franchise of Hot Box Pizza, which is wildly popular for their outrageously huge lists of available toppings, crusts, and sauces, as well as their breadsticks. Young or old, single or married, kids or not, there is something in Broad Ripple to suit your tastes.
