Located in Indianapolis, Indiana Kountry Kitchen Soul Food Place has become known for a variety of different down-home recipes from their famous fried chicken wings and savory pork chops to the mouth-watering and refreshing lemonade. Kountry Kitchen Soul Food Place was started in 1988 by Ms. Jessie, she loved to cook for her family and friends by preparing southern dishes. Ms. Jessie initially opened a six-seat countertop diner that served her home-style cooking to the local neighborhood.

Later Ms. Jessie's daughter Nell became active in the business, making Kountry Kitchen Soul Food Place a family affair. Nell began adding some of her own well-loved home style recipes. Kountry Kitchen Soul Food Place has since grown from a well known and loved diner into a nationally known soul food place that creates a wonderful experience that is good for the soul.

We believe love is important for doing good work. As Indiana natives, we love where we live, and we love being a part of the local culture here. We think Indianapolis is a special place, and we are excited to be a part of its burgeoning coffee culture.

We also love coffee and its mystery. Carefully roasted coffee is a work of art, with slight changes in heat and airflow and timing in the roaster making for very different results in the final cup. We never tire of roasting, brewing, or drinking great coffee.   

Last, we love how coffee enriches community. Modern life can be fragmenting, pulling us into a thousand different directions. Craft coffee does the opposite. It calls us to slow down, take in our surroundings, and pay attention to the people and everyday moments that fill out and bring richness to our lives.

We source our beans from experts who search out the best specialty green coffee available and pay a fair price for it. We roast light to medium, with the intent to highlight the coffee’s natural origin flavor, avoiding more roasty or smoky flavors. While coffee is very versatile and everyone has their preferences, we like this approach because we feel it showcases each unique coffee’s potential and gives a very flavorful cup.

Established in 1961, Martin Luther King Jr. Park sits on nearly 14 acres on the near north side. The park is named after civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who was was instrumental in the adoption of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and was subsequently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. The south end of the park features the Landmark for Peace memorial of King and Robert Kennedy, who in 1968 gave a historic address informing Indianapolis residents that King had been assassinated in Memphis Tennessee.

MLK Park has a swimming pool, playground equipment, tennis courts, softball diamonds, shelters, horse shoes, and basketball courts. The Kennedy King Park Center is located just south of the Landmark for Peace memorial. The center hosts Indy Parks staff and an exhibit room dedicated to Dr. King and the history of the Civil Rights Movement in partnership with the Kennedy King Memorial Initiative.

Former Indiana Secretary of State, Larry Conrad, had the idea that a monument could commemorate both Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy in the park where Kennedy’s calming remarks were made on the night of King’s assassination. Indiana Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh funded a juried competition for a monument design in 1994 with resources from the newly-formed Pacers Foundation. 

Indianapolis writer, Greg R. Perry submitted a design concept that was chosen from a pool of 50 submissions. The monument, dedicated in 1995, is constructed from two massive curves of Cor-Ten steel cut with the outlines of Kennedy and King, cast by Indianapolis sculptor Daniel Edwards. From each of these rounded steel curves of steel leap two half figures, reaching their hands out to one another over a walkway. “The monument is a meeting of opposing artistic sensibilities not normally found together in public monuments: abstract meets figurative,” writes NUVO art critic Dan Grossman. “It’s not just a piece of sculpture that happens to be outside in a public space,” says project consultant Steve Mannheimer. “It’s truly a civic sculpture.”
