My Indianapolis

Slice of Pink did a post of her hometown and asked others to make one as well. I like filling things out, so here is My Indianapolis.

Age: 27

Occupation: Graphic Designer

I’ve lived here for: 27 years

I live here because: It’s super-cheap and most of my family and friends live here.

My neighborhood: Southport

My favorite restaurant: Kabutos or Taste or Shallos.

If you go to this restaurant, be sure to order: Hibachi or the waffle with fresh fruit on top or one of their many, many beers.

My favorite museum: Indianapolis Museum of Art

My favorite tourist destination: I’m not sure anyone ever comes here to “tour” but I guess my favorite would be the canal.

Best insider spot:  Mass Ave?  That’s our “art district.”  Not sure it would be considered “insider” though.

My favorite area: Downtown 

Best place to go shopping: Keystone Fashion Mall

When you visit, don’t forget to pack: A camera… you shouldn’t visit anywhere w/o a camera. ;)

But leave room in your suitcase for: Some Colts apparel!

The one local cuisine you should try when you’re in town is: Goose the Market

The best way to get around:  Some bike and walk paths are being built, but you’d still need a car for sure.

If I had to describe this city in one word, it would be: Behind.  We are completely behind on the times, man. Smoking is still allowed in the bars, not many people recycle, we’re out of fashion, we have very little public transportation, etc…

I tell my friends to stay at: The Villa! Unless you have kiddies… then the Holiday Inn by the Pyramids b/c it has SLIDES!

The one thing most outsiders don’t know about this city is: The very first Cheeseburger in Paradise was here!

They say “Virginia is for lovers.” So fill in the blank: Indianapolis is for people who like cheap living.
