The President had this to say yesterday: “Transportation is not just fixing our old transportation systems but its also imaging new transportation systems. That’s why I’d like to see high speed rail where it can be constructed. That’s why I would like to invest in mass transit because potentially that’s energy efficient and I think …
It was a great day for a walk in one of Indy’s more diverse neighborhoods. These pics are out of order from how we walked, but Blogger’s photo uploader is kind of funky. There were 3 cats in this house, this one wanted its picture taken: I was intrigued by this little place: Colors!: KIB’s …
I love a good atmosphere. They seem to be tough to come by in this city, but they are the places I tend to visit most often. Here are some of my favorites: Red Key. This is an obvious choice. The place hasn’t changed much since the early 1950’s, and has a great jukebox. It’s …

It’s an issue that would probably be explained better by The Urbanophile, but I’ll attempt to weigh in here. The issue is: large older buildings that have outlived their …
