Endgame Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 So, I've been talking to John Lu from OLCMSS about getting an OP here in Central Indiana and he's down for the idea, but he needs help finding a location. My first thought, since I enjoyed Lightning Strike in Wisconsin earlier this year, I figured another mall that isn't scheduled to be torn down in the near future would be ideal. I sent him some information about Eastgate Consumer Mall. The place has been dead for years and no longer being used, and also it's far off the view of passersby, I think it would be perfect for a larger OP. If you guys have any other ideas about locations or your own opinions of this, chime in, let me know or hell, even pass it on up to John Lu yourself on Facebook. He'll answer your message.

williamc Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Eastgate Consumer Mall is being used as a police training and computer hub. They have been building and useing it for 2 or 3 years now Edited August 31, 2013 by williamc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rated R Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The old Chrysler plant off of I70 would be epic!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endgame Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Rated R - That would be a good idea. I'll pass that along. WilliamC - The area has been used for military simulation training before. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be again.Source 1: http://www.labelscar...e-consumer-mallSource 2: http://www.opednews.com/articles/Marines-bringing-combat-tr-by-waronyou-080530-664.html Edited August 31, 2013 by Endgame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I made the suggestion. I'm pretty sure that they aren't using the entire area for whatever they're using it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also guys, if you can manage the addresses to the locations you reference, that would make it a little easier to refer them to John.

BigAltes Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I realize that it no longer looks like a mall, because it's no longer a mall. That's why I made the suggestion. I'm pretty sure that they aren't using the entire area for whatever they're using it for. W. a friend of mine started the computer hub, then bought the whole center. I have been in the place many times, and talked to him about doing a indoor place about a year ago, but it really didn't go anywhere. Now he just landed another big contract for the place, so out of the question now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endgame Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Roger that, Altes. Well, we still have other prospects in Central Indiana. That was the first one that came to mind, and John is already looking at it, but if it is not on the table, he'll know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
targetpractice Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Oh yeah, Eastgate mall. Yeah, my old job uses that as a data center now. I knew it sounded familiar. So it has to be an indoor-specific venue? The old St Francis hospital is a bit too near "civilian" areas, as cool as it would be. Plus I've been to the old building a few times - there are parts of that place that just aren't safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade S_Z Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 There is the old AM General plant near downtown Indy, just south of the zoo. The abandoned hospital down the road from Indy Indoor would be pimp.It's not abandoned, they're renovating it into senior apartments with restaurants on the bottom. Pretty big deal in the area.

Vacceo Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 It will be fun to have the usual LC moronic players doing their moronic stuff at home. Luckily you guys will be there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I am glad that he is at least entertaining the idea of a LC OP here in Central IN. If we keep pestering him about it, you never know it may just happen. ~Joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELI Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 any reason why they don't use Muscatatuck hell I would be happy with a lower priced one day no special guest game there or a 2 day no special guest game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FN Pope Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Peli that is a great idea...or even say a 24hr even with no guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Marshal Harvest Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I would be more than happy to volunteer time to help set that up. That AO is really great, and would be amazing for some non-Irene events. If you included the forestry/reservoir side that comes with, there's some really good LRRPing potential and such.

Shwaisey Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I Hope you guys like abandoned Hospitals...This place has been empty for a while.http://www.wthr.com/story/14949987/st Somebody mentioned the GM plant, I can confirm I used to have a co-worker that had a security gig there. Security are the only people there.http://www.wthr.com/story/22533216/demolition-planned-at-closed-indianapolis-gm-plant Somebody also mentioned the Eastgate mall, that building has been renovated and has a large number of IMPD squad cars, construction, and more official looking stuff day and night. I don't see it viable to airsoft there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceReaper Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) The 2nd location would need a TON of clean up.... but I enjoy that it gives a total war torn look. And sweet tits, that hospital would be simply EPIC to get some pew pew time in at. Edited September 17, 2013 by Acer34p3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
