2017 Indy 500-- Part 3: Urban Renewal On Speedway's Main Street

We went to Speedway's Main Street area because there is a big-time urban renewal going on there.  Every year there are more places opening and buildings being repurposed.  The first years we went there, it was a bit "long at the tooth."  The word slum almost came to mind.  But the least several years the town has become aware of how good of a money-maker this area, within easy walking distance of the raceway, and not just during race days, but year round.

One of our favorite new places now is Daredevil Brewing, a craft beer place that finally opened last year.  We enjoy buying a flight of 4 beers for $8.  They have a chart of their offerings so you can get an idea of what each has.  We then take turns sampling and rating the offerings on its finer points.  One of these was a strong kicker at 9%.

We went through a second flight.

At the end of this, we each pick the one we liked the best.  I picked a char-smoked English porter with a real smoky flavor.  I do really like craft brews, but am definitely not keen on the $5-$6 prices.

While at the brewery, we enjoyed watching two-seater Indy cars from the building next door taking people for rides around the Main Street area.
