Where is Y-Press?

FAQ | Y-press | Indianapolis Youth & Childrens News
We’re located on the fifth floor of The Indianapolis Star building. The address is 307 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis, IN 46204-0145. I thought Y-Press was in The Children's Museum. And didn't it used to be called "Children's Express?" Y-Press used to be part of Children’s Express, an international children’s press organization, but decided to become independent of that organization in 1999. At that time it changed its name.
