Discount cards made to bring shoppers to Tenth, Rural

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – The area around East 10th and North Rural streets is gaining popularity.

The-near east side community has a number of restaurants, a grocery story, a furniture store and other businesses popping up.

You can pick up the discount cards at some of the local businesses near 10th and Rural. 

“Our goal is to revitalize the near-eastside. We have a neighborhood that is really emerging,” said John Franklin Hay with Near Indy. 

The business involved include these: Audrey’s Place Thrift Store, Little Doc’s Architectural Salvage , Gordon’s, Rabble Coffee, Hoagies & Hops, Pogue’s Run Grocer, Pia Urban Cafe & Market, Under the Sun, Metta, Neidhammer, Sisters Comfort Food, Tlaolli, Tick Tock, Chuck’s Coney Island, Society of Salvage and Smoking Goose.
