Meeting place suggestions?

[Rookie]

Meeting a fellow INGOer somewhere close to the north side of 465 and 31. Anyone familiar with that area? Where should we meet?

 

[MCgrease08]

There is a McDonald's at 96th and Meridian. A couple of gas stations near that area too.

There is a shopping center with a Walmart, Menards and old Marsh parking lot (possibly less crowded) up around Meridian & 131st St.

Or is it not that kind of meeting?

Deviate Brewery

I have met lots of folks at the Starbucks on Meridian just south of 465.

 

[WanderingSol07]

Arni's on 96th street. Not expensive, plenty of room, not loud, good menu.

 

[HoughMade]

Not enough windmills down there for me.

I posted here.

Meeting for a quick buy in a parking lot or to sit and have a conversation? Really either way I would take the 116th street exit. South of 116th west of 31. There are many places in the "Market District". CVS, Jimmy Johns, upity grocery store, McDonalds... new place, well lit.
Logistically it is a little easier getting off and on 31 and 465 to stay north of 465.



And if you hit it off, there are hotels nearby. :-)

Meeting for dinner? Rusty Bucket at 86/Ditch.

 

[Rookie]

Meeting to sell/buy gun parts.

 

[SmileDocHill]

I would avoid this area anytime near to rush hours. Other than that I have no actual memory of which places have security camera's and which don't. I assume you would want them. Evenings/weekends... The McDonalds on 116th or the 96th are likely good to prevent being alone in a parking lot, the lot in SE corner of 96th and meridian has Daddy Jacks, which means there will be open businesses in a lit lot.

Call AAA and ask for a trip ticket with restaurants around your desired location

Rookie, don't know if you have been to the meetup, but SDH is right on with both these suggestions.
There is also a GetGo gas station at 116th (west of 31, on Illinois St south of 116th: 11545 N Illinois St) that is easy to get in & out. Just beware that you will be in Carmel country, and roundabouts are everywhere.

Did you say roundabouts?

Dark alley, by a dumpster. Put the gun in a brown paper bag

Met at the McDonald's. When I pulled in, I noticed a Lexus that had tried to drive over the curb and managed to get high centered. When I was done with the INGOer, I walked over to see if I could help. The guy was an Indian who could barely speak English. I asked if he wanted help and he said, "triple a". I asked if they were coming and he said he didn't know. I asked again if he wanted help and he pointed to a woman sitting in the passenger seat. I asked her if she wanted help or if she wanted to wait for triple A. She said she couldn't find triple A. I told her I could get them unstuck or they could get triple A, and she said she wanted my help. Fortunately, there were some brick sized rocks, so I jacked up the car, shoved a bunch of rocks under the tire, and had him drive off the curb. The guy told me, "you are good American" and tried to pay me, but I told him to keep his money and help someone else out when he can.

Well played, sir.

If this isn't how you meet people for gun-related purchases, I don't know what you're doing with your life.

I once made a purchase in the alley behind the CVS store in downtown Indy.
