This ad for The In Port gift shop ran in 1974. The shop was at 6263 Carrollton Avenue [OO23 on map].

The ad lists the address as North Carrollton, as I remember doing as a child, but there is no South Carrollton Avenue in Indianapolis, so that is odd.

This ad is so old that the credit cards listed are Master Charge (now MasterCard) and BankAmericard (now Visa)

Today, the Alley Cat Front Room is at this address. Over the years it has been Hoster-Roberts Farm Implements (1940s), Uptown Drugs (1950s), Schatz Drugs (1960), Kristen's Gifts Imports and Antiques (1970), The Potters Wheel (1976), Bob Webber Miniatures (1982), CCA Gallery (1980s-1990s), Haus (2002), AXELab (2006), Profile (2006), and The Egyptian (2007-2022).
