I have lived on the West Side of Indy my entire life.
Jimmy Reece used to live across from Speedway High School. Bob Sweikert had a huge shop at the address behind 16th and Luette (just East of IMS) that housed many a racer over the years (Howard Gilbert, Bill Puterbaugh) Don and AJ Sheppard had a Marathon Gas station at 16th and Tibbs. American Indy Car Mechanic School was next to Gene White Firestone on 16th. Keplar's Garage was a huge beehive of Indy Racing which was off an ally on Main Street in Speedway. I could go on and on... that History Mystery guy needs to read a book or two.
