Clay Terrace is a middle-sized shopping mall in Carmel, Indiana, just north of metropolitan Indianapolis, Indiana, between Zionsville and Lawrence, with Lebanon, Noblesville and Anderson flanking its northern border. This unique mall lays claim to being the very first “outdoor lifestyle shopping center” in the entire state. The popular Indianapolis shopping mall houses more than 70 shops along its wide pedestrian walkways, many with vintage-look storefronts, and is just off U.S. 31.

The people-friendly layout of Clay Terrace Mall is simple, with shops lining either side of an enormous public walkway. The venues that occupy the mall sport homogeneous storefronts designed to sweep visitors back to the earliest days of Indianapolis shopping centers, when life was slow enough to truly enjoy shopping. Antique lighting and pleasant landscaping lend to the Town Square feel.

A visit to Clay Terrace Mall, then, becomes a delightful stroll into nostalgia. Who knows? You might even go there to relax! Shop, eat, slow down and meander, that’s what Clay Terrace Mall is all about.

The newly redeveloped Carmel Arts & Design District is dressing up the small but upscale Indianapolis suburb of Carmel, Indiana to the nines. This area is nestled right in the heart of what is referred to as Old Town, in downtown Carmel, and has been receiving a grand scale facelift that will allow it to truly live up to its motto: “The Midwest’s Premier Arts and Design Destination.”

The Arts and Design District already houses a plethora of Indianapolis art galleries, interior designers, Carmel restaurants, antique stores, showrooms and specialty shops, inside a congenial neighborhood called “Old Town Shops.” An eclectic mix of retail establishments, Carmel businesses and residential town homes and condominiums, the Carmel Arts & Design District is considered a prime artists’ community in the Indiana.

The fresh but nostalgic idea behind the Carmel Arts and Design District is to create a Main Street of old. Some $10 million has been invested by Carmel to that end, going for distinctive features such as street lighting that looks like gas lamps decorated with live flower planters, brick sidewalks and charming signage and historic facades. Lifelike sculptures by J. Seward Johnson adorn the lamp post lined streets of the Arts & Design District.

There are now two highly visible and towering brick gateways to mark the boundaries of the Arts and Design District, one at Fourth Street South and Range Line Road, and the other at Fourth Avenue East and Main Street. Soon to come are similar gateways at the western and southern borders. Flanked by decorative brick columns, they consist of a graceful metal arch span with a large sign atop that reads “Carmel Arts & Design District.” You can’t miss it.

The Lurie Building, located at 30 Main Street, is to be one of the stars of the new Arts and Design District. With four stories encompassing 30,000 square feet of space, it is anchored by the owner’s Evan Lurie Fine Art Gallery, featuring contemporary Latin American and European artists, many of whom are signed exclusively to this gallery.

The event calendar for the Carmel Arts and Design District is already chock full of Carmel events to lure locals and visitors alike. Art exhibits galore, grand openings and re-openings, giveaways and promotions, live Indianapolis music at the authentic Irish pub Muldoon’s, and tons of programs at the local library are just a few of the ongoing Carmel things to do in the Carmel Arts and Design District.

The ever-popular Carmel International Arts Festival (CIAF), a yearly weekend event that draws local attendees as well as those from other nearby Indianapolis suburbs and Indy, takes place within the Carmel Arts and Design District, bringing much exposure and activity to the renovated area. This Indianapolis festival is a free, annual event that brings over 30,000 people each year. Summer ushers in the Rock the District festival, a free all-day celebration with live Carmel music, great food, and superb Carmel shopping. December in Carmel also warrants a stop in the district for ongoing events, holiday sales, and an amazingly uptown, hometown holiday feel.

At the end of 2008, more than 100 unique, attractive businesses were already up and running in the Carmel Arts and Design District. More redevelopment projects, they say, are in the works. Carmel, it seems, is determined to metamorphose into the star of Central Indiana.

Carmel (pronounced /ˈkɑrməl/) is a city in Hamilton County, Indiana, United States. The population was 37,733 at the 2000 census but has been growing very rapidly. In 2007, a special census recorded the city population at 68,677.

Carmel is one of many affluent edge cities on the North side of Indianapolis. Until 1874, the settlement where present day Carmel now sits was called Bethlehem. Today, the plot first established in Bethlehem, located at the intersection of Rangeline Road and Main Street, is marked by a clock tower, donated by the local Rotary Club in 2002.

In 1924, one of the first automatic traffic signals in the United States was installed at the intersection of Main Street and Range Line Road. The signal that was installed was the invention of Leslie Haines and is currently in the old train station on the Monon.

Carmel is located at 39°58′23″N 86°6′28″W / 39.97306°N 86.10778°W / 39.97306; -86.10778 (39.972917, -86.107877)^[5].

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 17.9 square miles (46.4 km²), of which, 17.8 square miles (46.1 km²) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km²) of it (0.61%) is water.

Major East-West streets in Carmel generally end in a 6, and include 96th Street (the Southern border), 106th, 116th, 126th, 131st, 136th and 146th (the Northern Border). The numbering system is aligned to that of Marion and Hamilton counties. Main Street (131st) runs East-West through Carmel’s Art & Design District; Carmel Drive runs East-West through a main shopping area; and City Center Drive runs East-West near Carmel’s new City Center project.

North-South streets are not numbered, and include (West to East) Michigan, Shelborne, Towne, Ditch, Spring Mill, Meridian, Guilford, Range Line, Keystone, Carey, Gray, Hazel Dell, and River. Some of these roads are continuations of corresponding streets within Indianapolis. Towne Road replaces the name Township Line Road at 96th Street, while Westfield Boulevard becomes Rangeline north of 116th Street. Meridian Street (US-31) and Keystone Avenue (IN-431) are the major thoroughfares, extending from (within Carmel) I-465 in the south and merging just south of 146th Street.
