Earlier this year, real estate agent and Fountain Square resident Phil Barcio began the
Fountain Square Mural Project, an effort to transform the neighborhood's alleys to help prevent crime and graffiti. So far,
local artists have painted 20 murals on privacy fences, retaining walls and garages. "It's an attempt to clean up the alleys
and make them a destination," Barcio said. Many of the murals have required approval from the Indianapolis Historic Preservation
Commission (eight are scheduled for a hearing next week). Thirty more should appear in the Spring. This painting shown here,
by William Denton Ray, is at 1048 Virginia Avenue. You can check out more examples here. What do you think?

Ameriana Bank took over Westfield Farmers Market for 2013 and it is held in their parking lot, corner of 32 and Carey road, 5 to 8. I am selling soap and candles there. great market!

B&T certainly has enough of our taxpayer dollars to do this thanks to Mayor Ballard. Given the firm's exceedingly poor reputation in the legal community, the basement would seem a better option.

Not a good location for a 300,000 home. 10th Street fumes, buses, noise. Max for this location 150,000.

The state constitution also does not say that the majority has a right to quorum, nor that the minority is required to allow them quorum. In fact, denial of quorum has been a parliamentary maneuver since the establishment of the first parliaments in the early 1600s. The right to deny quorum (and the requirement fore quorum) are to prevent exactly what happened in Indiana: A tyrannical majority pushing through odious, objectionable legislation. Denial of quorum is totally legitimate, and lest we forget, a tactic the GOP has employed many, many times to ensure their issues weren't given short shrift. By allowing the majority to impose "fines" on the minority for exercising the authority the constitution grants them (to deny quorum,) they are violating the constitution.

East of Fountain Square. Made me think of public art I have seen in Seattle. Kinda like folk art stuck in the front fence, but it works.
Appears the homeownere did it themselves without a grant or public subsidy, but I could be wrong on that. Worth a drive by.
