I needed to make two trips to Indianapolis when I was dealing with the IPhone debacle . The mall where Apple is located is not near the downtown area I am used to in the city. It’s also about two hours from my house, making it a long roundtrip to do in a day. On my first trip there with my friend, Amanda, I noticed Ironworks Hotel when we got off the highway.
