The Urbanophile’s guest post on Recreational Hinterlands has inspired me to take a bit of a detour from my usual posts on urban structures and transit . This post reminded me that I had not spent much time in the woods this year. And, as usual, one place in particular calls my name: Shades State …
It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a post on a corner building. This is located on the southeast corner of Brookside Parkway and Olney. I’ve been disc golfing quite a bit lately, and this building stands out in a mostly residential area. There’s a barber shop/convenience store located in this building, and I’m …
Hoosier Beer Geek has written about the new venture for Upland Beer, located at the corner of 49th and College. The blog mentions that Upland wants to be a part of an up-and-coming neighborhood, and to be away from the Broad Ripple party scene. I’d imagine that the rent for the space is quite a …

My favorite is this one: At first look, it’s repeats a pattern. However, there are many subtle differences within the facade. It’s basically a “spot the differences” game.

I have been thinking more about this map that I posted last week that features Indy’s transit system in 1945. The map is a bit unclear in my photo, so I will explain it for you here. Red lines are the streetcarsBlack lines are trackless trolleysThe difficult-to-see green lines are buses. One thing that really …

Finally! I really needed to get to this exhibit. According to the link, they close shop on August 22nd. Anyways, it contains a large amount of thought-provoking panels, centered around a vision of a light rail line from Noblesville to Union Station. I didn’t photograph all of the panels, but I’ve included many of them …
The Indy Cog has linked to a new non-profit organization known as People for Urban Progress, which seeks to link green urban design, cycling, and transit. Since this blog was founded on those principles 2 and a half years ago, I am smitten by this. Their project to recycle the RCA Dome fabric is brilliant. …
