www.facebook.com/FountainSquareNeighborhoodFountain Square Alliance
Primarily a residential area, although with some industry, the Fountain Square Alliance began as several block clubs
throughout the southeast part of Fountain Square.
The clubs eventually came together as one association.
Residents are working diligently to create a safe neighborhood that people want to call home, and have partnered with
IPS School 19 and neighborhood businesses to clean up the neighborhood and Sandorf Park.
In 2015, the FSA, along with their partner, Christ's Open Door Baptist Church, was awarded the SustainIndy grant to
build a community garden to serve the residents of the neighborhood.

Brenda McAtee, President, norwood1reunion@yahoo.com, 317-748-6296Old Southside
The Old Southside has a rich history of diversity.
From the German and Irish immigrants of Catholic and Jewish faiths that came in the 1830s, to the influx of African Americans in
the 1840s and 1850s.
With the establishment of Sacred Heart Church, South Calvary Baptist Church, and Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation's original
location, by 1890 the near southside was densely populated and had the highest percentage of foreign-born residents of any
district in the city.
While the construction of I-70 divided and broke up a neighborhood that now comes together at the intersection of Southeast
District, Southwest District, and Downtown, we have unified and found that strength can still be found when we stand united and
continue to celebrate our diversity.
