Does anyone have an explanation for the window display in the building at Pennsylvania
and Georgia streets across from Conseco Fieldhouse? The banners spell out "A new city is coming!" and include images of police
officers and a skyline scene. Officials in the city's planning department say they're not sure what's going on, and officials
with building owner CSX did not return phone messages. Is the display teasing a new building tenant, or is it public art?
Maybe a guerrilla marketing strategy? Stay tuned. We'll figure this out.

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.

Watch for the bumblebee color scheme, tacky suburban paste-on stone base, and blacked out windows.
get over it.
we all appreciate the fact that a Regional Center Zoning Ordinance may or may not of been broken. may be if your lucky it will go out of business and it will return to an empty street level space on Indy's second most notable street.
And just a heads up the next time hugely successful chain wants to open up in OUR underpopulated city-center the city will let them get away with then too.
in this Ballard era, that's about all that will see you thru these crappy times, eh?
we're all haters, but lovers at heart. ;)
Figured I would be the first to mention Ikea.
It is a bland brick structure with really no style. I don't know if once upon a time it had more beauty but really that is bland.
I highly doubt this is development. 'A new city is coming' doesn't scream development to me unless there is action and renderings around the structure.
nah, it INDOOR CRICKET!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111
Indianapolis really needs to get its collective act together when it comes to urban planning. The Historical Society has WAY too much influence making it difficult to revitalize areas by tearing down old buildings that are past their useful life, vacant, have little to no curb appeal, and are not configured for modern use.
Nice idea, but more likely Kosene will grab it an convert it into 600 sq foot cells with plastic fixtures and cheap carpet for $275K
though the IHPC can be annoying at times it is essential to preserving the beauty of this city.
History and beautiful architecture are not only found in monuments and landmarks, they are found in areas of multiple older buildings.
The IHPC has preserved and saved many parts of this city's history.
When it comes to the demolition or changing of structures I'd say they have a good amount of influence. Now when it comes to the development of empty land sometimes I feel they have too much power (such as the forced reduction of height, dumbing down of design, etc.).
However, you only need to look at photos of buildings and landmarks that once stood to understand how essential they are to keeping this city's character what it is while progressing.
Heaven knows if we had an IHPC in the 20th century like we do now, we would still have the English hotel and Marion county court house.
