In 2016, the Fall Creek Place Foundation gathered input from neighbors and spearheaded an effort to create a master plan for the park.  With the goal of creating a space that connects the natural environment with recreation and the arts, Craig Kids Memorial Park is a park unlike any other in Indianapolis, featuring walkways, performance areas, landscaping, a nature playscape and a unique art playscape where art pieces function as playground equipment.

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.

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.”
