We have two nice ones in Central Indiana:

CPU Inc. 
5168 E. 65th Street
Indianapolis, Indiana
All Amiga, 24 hour BBS

Then there's a local one, 
Digital Arts.
Corner of College and 6th street (Sorry, I dunno the exact address :)
Bloomington, Indiana

Amiga/Mac/PC (but all I've seen is Amiga stuff. someoen sabotaged the Mac :)
Yes, this is a store that concentrates on Amigas. They only have ONE mac and
ONE PC on public display, but about 7 or eight Amigas, one being an A3000
hooked up to a Pioneer VideoDisc, a Xetec CD-ROM drive (the Xetec software has
a problem bug though...you can run programs off the drive, but you can't copy
them off!), and an A2500 w/Toaster, (Nice!), and two other Amigas running
musical stuff, and then, an A2000HD running the Accountant as the cash
register.

Actually, both stores are very much alike, except Digital Arts is mostly
gears towards artisic/multimedia stuff, as where CPU Inc is geared at
the professional market. Amazingly enough, even though Digital Arts is only
a few months old, and they're in a MUCH smaller town than CPU Inc, it's much
larger. Digital arts is also putting up their own BBS. (boy, in this town, we
have about 20 bbs's. 2/3rds support amigas, and 2 are currently all-amiga, and
that will jump to five in the near future...)
