Random Historic Photo - 2004 Taste of BR
posted: Nov. 27, 2025

This issue's Random Historic Photo, taken in the 2004, shows the crowd at the Taste of Broad Ripple event at Westfield Boulevard and Guilford Avenue. Ellen and David Matthews let me up on the roof at Chelsea's (Runners Forum today) to document the event.
Starting on the left you can see Starbucks, then The Patio Nightclub (Lit today), Quality Leasing (317 BBQ today), Qdoba (Haveli Indian Restaurant today), and Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream (Dad's today).
Above Quality Leasing, Cardinal Fitness can be seen, where Kilroy's is now.
