  1. THANK YOU to Doug Noonan in the last two paragraphs for sharing his concern. We are screwed if the city manages to gain ownership of this property as “we’ve not been able to demonstrate any kind of fiscal discipline…..
    I take some comfort in the fact that either the property owners and the USPS have zero interest in selling the property.

    1. Unfortunately, given Indy’s track record, the Colts won’t do anything w/o tax subsidies from the city and state.
