Indianapolis
I have never been to Indianapolis. I was recently accepted to present at the CIC CIO Tech Forum 2007 (not much available at that site yet), and it’s in Indianapolis in October. I have no idea what to do there. Is it fun?
The presentation is going to be kind of lame, because it’s actually a colleague and me together, so I figured we’d each have half an hour. Then, when I got the acceptance, I found out that we only get 20 minutes for both of us. Sheesh! How are we supposed to get anything said in such a short time? I’ve got a lot of love to give, people.
Oh well. I get a free trip out of it regardless, and I guess it’s less stress this way. The question remains: Indianapolis? Any good museums or anything?
The Indy Children’s Museum is a really fun place to see (http://www.childrensmuseum.org/) and they have the neatest water clock in the atrium. I think the best place for nightlife is Broadripple (http://www.discoverbroadripplevillage.com/). That’s the trendy area of town, and there’s almost always live music there. Downtown, there’s the big Circle Centre Mall and a bunch of restaurants (if you feel like steak, definitely try St. Elmo’s – http://www.stelmos.com/).
Indy sucks ass. No actually it is a pretty cool town. I’ll give you some tips.
They have cool stores and restaurants on Mass. Ave
The Best Dance Club/Drag show I’ve ever been to is at Talberts
They just finished reworking the Art Museum
Free Zoo
I can’t believe Steve T. didn’t mention this attraction.
My parents, who went to college there, swear that Shapiro’s Deli (the downtown one) is the best Jewish Deli anywhere.
I grew up in Indy and there are lots of cool things. The Eiteljorg Native American Art museum, the zoo is actually a combo of zoo and aquarium (but I don’t think it’s free), Shapiro’s is so good I drive back at least twice a year to have some. check out Indy.org for special events taking place when you are there
I’ll shut up now, I love Indy
I’m a huge fan of your site and I check it regularly. Keep up the great work!
