I am assuming that you are referring to Kroger in Indianapolis? No Kroger in the southeastern USA, where I am now, has anything remotely resembling Roselyn baked goods.

Well, since this thread is specifically about Indianapolis, yes, I am.

They sell "Roselyn Bakery" stuff at both Kroger and Marsh.

The Roller Cave is still there and open.

I don't remember the location of all of these places I know they were on either the east side or south side of Indianapolis because that is where we lived :
Lum's beer steamed hot dogs
Burger Chef
Blocks Dept. Stores
L.S. Ayres tea room downtown
The Ponderosa restaurant
Heath's Market on Meridian
Keystone Middle School
Edgewood Elementary School
Southport High School
Little Flower Catholic Church
Woolworths lunch at the East Gate Shopping Center
good memories of skating parties all the time as well

I remember Willis Mortuary which was founded in 1890 by Cassius M. Clay Willis, the first African-American undertaker/funeral director in the state. The mortuary was located at what was formerly 632-634 North West Street (now Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street. This landmark building is part of Indianapolis' historic westside black cultural trail.

I was ticked off when Hardee's bought Burger Chef back in the early 1980s, but now Hardee's is probably my favorite fast-food burger joint.

And, Little Flower is still going strong, but no longer has Franciscan nuns teaching in the school.

How about Raceway Park on Friday nights, Speedrome on Saturday night, followed by burgers and draft at Big Daddy's Lounge by the old eastgate shopping center.
Does anybody remember "Mr. Mike" the newspaper man at Washington and Meridian? Or Brother Junipers or Ted and Marges for breakfast on Mass. Ave?

We moved to Indy in 1969, and that summer my dad's company put him up in an apartment at Turtle Creek, just south of Thompson on 31. When we would come into town to visit before we got moved we would always go to Aristo's and have pizza and watch the old movies.

In 1969 I dated a girl named Gloria, that tended bar at Aristo's. These were real good times.
