State officials say a bronze sculpture atop the Indianapolis Soldiers and Sailors Monument will be removed for repairs on
Saturday.
Indiana Department of Administration Commissioner Rob Wynkoop says the sculpture's deteriorating condition was discovered
two years ago.
A conservator will complete repairs designed to restore the 38-feet-tall, 19,300-pound statute in time for the 2011 Circle
of Lights festivities and the 2012 Super Bowl.
A crane on the west side of the monument will remain in place for several weeks while limestone repair work is completed.
The Public Works Division of the Department of Administration oversees most state construction and repair projects.

Laura-the festivals and tastings are free. What does is strengthen the sense of community with activities. What are those empty lots doing for the Village? it's sad you can't see the good that this progress can do for the area. No one is requiring anyone to shop there. I guess you'd rather see a Dollar store move in or no, we'd rather see the property stand empty b/c change is out of the question.

Read down to the part about Brizzi. Someone needs to subpoena his "purchases" of Red RockPictures and Cellstar and his corresponding bank records, I mean c'mon, I'd like to see his alcohol usage records, too. http://diana-vice.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Wonder if my neighborhood can advertise our "retention" pond and act like it is a beach too?

a new record at the '11 salebration until they realized that it was a futile effort to get their crapwagon moter and crapwagon car up speed. And then they just quietly slunk off into the night and never spoke of it again. Nothing to see here folks.

millions for putting a company's bumper sticker on one of its Lolas. But you gotta take what you can get.
