Sorry, davebindy , but your comments aren’t quite accurate. The strip mall where the Target was located was definitely torn down and replaced with a new building. You can see this by looking at the current satellite view of the area on Google Maps. One part of the strip mall is still there, by the way, just not where the Menards actually is.

The Eastwood Theater was located on an outlot, as you say, but it was on the west side of the area, where Menards now appears to have some kind of warehouse. You could get to the theater by driving on what is now marked as N Elizabeth St. I remember my sister always drove that “back way” to get there.

There used to be a hotel at the corner of Shadeland and Pendleton Pike, which was basically next to those apartments, and you might have been thinking of that as the location of the Eastwood. The hotel was finally torn down in the 2000s, I believe.
