Whenever I go to a new place, I gain a toe-hold on the town by going to local artsy or foodie locations. We found this quaint historic area of Indy around the cross roads of Massachusetts and College Avenues.
Your home’s entry way or your business’s entry should say something about you or your business. Here is a nice example
