Great investment for the future! Good job Indy!
While the downtown burns because of our cowardly mayor. Maybe by then we’ll have someone who has a backbone to keep the new, shiny hotel windows from getting bashed in.
Very bored with you continued blame game, think we are all(excluding you} ready to move on.
Downtown is burning… some new CDs of gaudy music to play on Monument Circle!
But for real though, James, your comment is unhinged.
Please stop bringing up the 40 year old decision by Hudnut to build the Hoosier Dome w/o a football team. Due to the dramatic change in the landscape of both professional sports that would be a foolhardy gamble today. And downtown’s renaissance, while coincident with the Colts recent success, is not dependent upon the Colts and their 8 dates a year. For example, the Colts arrived in 1984 and there were still empty holes downtown 11 years later until Circle Centre was completed.
Why have anything downtown Our highways are full of trash and debris. You cannot even use the Emerngcy lanes. I went to Detroit yesterday and the the highways were so clean through the city every Direction.
Our Mayer is trying to destroy Indpls.
The mayor has no control over interstate highways. Talk to the Governor and the supermajority Republican GA.
I do Trade Shows and Conventions all over the US. Indy is not on the list for most major shows. Vegas is still #1 with Orlando a close #2, with San Antonio and San Diego in the top 5. Until there is a major Hotel at the Airport – not 2 miles away, Indy is considered a second tier city for professional events.
Riots Downtown did not help convince Trade Organizations that Indianapolis is an attractive destination. Safety from Crime is a much bigger factor than the Virus.
Is there anyone on the council who will stand up for taxpayers? The convention business has been losing popularity for the last decade. Yet every few years we expand the convention center and soak taxpayers. Now we are in the midst of the worst pandemic in a 100 years and we do not know when, or if, we’ll get back to large downtown events. So this time, they are mortgaging the future to do yet another expansion. A 30 year bond? Are you kidding me? We need politicians who will stop this corporate welfare nonsense.
Yes, it’s an arms race that can’t be won. Indy needs to refocus on events that fit within the existing infrastructure and invest in the amenities that visitors and convention goers command – safety, security, technology, etc.
