Growing up on the east side of Indianapolis, one of the biggest treats you could have was donuts from Hart Bakery.
Of course, nothing lives in reality the way it does in your memory. Â Hart isn’t quite as cute as when I grew up, but it’s just as sweet.
PS. Â This was Garance’s first EVER doughnut!!! Â Welcome to America, baby!!!

I lived in Indianapolis for 8 years before moving to NYC, and my heart will forever belong to Long’s. Nothing comes close! My bet is their glazed yeast doughnuts are just as good as I remember.

As an Indiana boy now in the big city of Chicago, it is nice to get back to where you grew up. You are right in that it’s never the way it was while growing up. But to get back, see some old sights, talk with old friends is therapeutic. And grounding.

OMG!! Garance’s first ever doughnut? Now that she’s living in New York, she must go to the Doughnut Plant for the best doughnuts in the world!

poor Garance, she keeps trying to get in better shape ( more exercise, eating healthy foods) and you tempt her with doughnuts and pizzas

Naughty you! After her wonderful post about getting back in shape and finding her balance after having gained weight, and you take her out for pizza and doughnuts!

Did you ever go to Taylor’s Bakery on Allisonville and 62nd? That’s my favorite. No bakery in NY compares.

Having lived above a mom+pop bakery in small town Minnesota for a year, I completely understand.
Garance, eat the donut.
I’m sure you won’t be road-tripping it to the midwest very often.
Think of it as a way to say “I love you baby…even if you do like small-town donuts.”

enjoying these profile on some of your favorite spots. Haven’t been to the Midwest, but looking forward to visiting them in the near future.

I’m not a fan of doughuts (*Gasp*! I know…) but this for some reason really makes me want to eat one…

Love that you are still (somewhat) in touch with your hometown roots! I’m always happy to visit the house that I grew up in, despite my boyfriend in the passenger seat saying, “Did you just feel that? That’s the feeling of God turning his back on you,” as soon as we cross the Indiana state line!

Scott, I teach at Warren Central and had no idea you’re an alum! Thank you for such a loving glimpse of the Eastside, on behalf of all those who call it home!

Growing up in Indianapolis and now having lived Chicago for quite some time, I never thought Indianapolis would make The Satorialist, this made my day… even if it is a doughnut shop (fitting!). And very exciting to know you grew up on the East side of the city.

Wish I’d come into Verve when you were there–too busy with little kids.
Such a beautiful blog you do.

Great Scott – Garance has been chronicling her struggle with weight gain (although, I now find it hard to believe when I saw those thighs on the pictures of her on the bike and swing!) due to the fattening food she’s encountered state side and you are not helping by introducing her to yummy/naughty donuts!!!

Makes me pretty happy that such a fine lady as Garance had her first doughnut in a proper small town, best of what America does (meaning small businesses) type o’place. I grew up in the Mid West and am loving your perspective. It’s your blog, Mr. Schuman, please do feel free to draw outside the lines when it strikes you!

You and Garance are too cute. Seriously

Do they still make crispys? We used to get them there when I was a kid. They’re a cross between a cinnamon roll and a danish, flaky, sweet and full of candied pecans as I recall.

Memories of Indiana. Hanging out with my pilot Grandfather at Grissom Air Force Base and getting great surplus gear at the Base Exchange. Drag racing at Bunker Hill.
Waterskiing Lake Maxinkuckee in Culver. And very good food – grilled meat and corn – grilled and dipped in butter at the Indiana State Fair. Much later I met Bill Blass at an event in NYC and was introduced as a former Hoosier. “Great place to leave!” he boomed. I disagree and still dream of the corn.

Scott,
I appreciate this so much as I grew up on 11th street, just a short morning walk away from Hart Bakery. Ask for a key chain next time you enjoy your prefect morning snack!

HELLO!!! WHY HAVEN’T YOU TAKEN GARANCE TO HAVE DOUGHNUTS AT THE DOUGHNUT PLANT IN THE LOWER EAST SIDE OR CHELSEA!!! BEST DOUGHNUTS EVER!!! (WELL FUN DOUGHNUTS, KRISPY KREME IS STILL THE BEST- TAKE HER THERE TOO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING SCOTT?!!) LOL. BE A GOOD AMERICAN.
