Yeah, Kirkwood leads to downtown, with Walnut and College Ave being the "main drag".
High rises...I think the biggest one, is like 8 stories tall.
Yeah, Nicks and Kilroys are still here(both Kilroys, were there two, when you were here? I forget how long "Kilroy's Sports Bar" has been here....It's downtown, between the Bluebird and Jakes[Jakes was called either Mars or Axis, when you were here]). Kilroy's business is so-so. Nick's will always be here. It's an IU institution. On football weekends, you can't even get in the door!
And yeah, IN's Sunday liquor laws are archaic! Although now, at least all bars CAN be open on Sunday, if they choose. Until about 5 years ago, a bar had to do a certain percentage of food sales, to be open. At least they changed that! But yeah, no carryout on Sundays!
Dagwood's is still there. A friend of my best friend in high school, is the one who started Dagwoods. I remember thinking, "oh, he'll never make it",
and he's STILL in business!

Don't think I ever went ot the Bluebird. If I did, it was once or twice. Nicks, Kilroy's...your basic college hangouts were where i ended up. And a lot of house parties for the perpetual broke college student. I worked at Mr D's supermarket one year. I used to hate telling people that they couldn't buy wine on Sundays. I still think that is strange, but hey, I'm from a state where it's illegal to pump your own gas.
I've recently reconnected with my best friend from school who lives just north of Indy so hopefully I'll make it out there this spring and I can see B-town for myself.
Is Dagwoods still there? Can't remember what else was unique to that area that I would frequent to eat.
