That worked out okay...

Turned out I didn't need to drive anywhere to get the stuff. There's a CVS down in Broad Ripple proper, by where the Canal Towpath crosses College Avenue, that had everything I needed. Then I grabbed a quick bite to eat at Subway on the way back home.

Broad Ripple is indeed pretty bicycle friendly. And yes, that is a bakery for dogs on the far side of the Ripple Bagel Deli. If there's anything SWPLer than a dog bakery, I don't know what it is.

Although there was a TeeWee news crew doing the ritual springtime Monon Trail story, asking people if they felt safe using the trail. I did not reply "Yes, thanks to SB292 passing back in 2011, I sure do."
