I've been struck recently by a similarity between Indy's skyline (as viewed from Michigan St. on the Near East Side, around the prison) and the AT&T "more bars in more places" motif. At the right spot on Michigan, there is a skyline pattern that looks like this:
I I I I I I I I I I
Indy has only four "bars" but it's still kind of funny to see after all those TV commercials where it's obviously done by digital manipulation.
Nice !! I'll be moving there in a month. Some people try to knock Indy downtown on skyline rating blogs/forums, but I like it, it's neat and organized,and the material of the buildings is sweet!
Judging midwestern cities everybody always got to pull chicago out their @$$ "Chicago,Chicago" dont get me wrong chi-town is nice but we are talking about the 3rd largest city in the U.S.
Anyway, nice photo,I see where Thundermutt mentions the near eastside and Michigan St, how ironic thats exactly where I'll be staying off of Michigan and oxford.
Notre Dame Football QuickyI'm so amused by this horrible prediction that I can't bring myself to delete it yet. 11/2/09: Something tells me that, no matter what, ND is going to end up 10-3 after their bowl game. Either they finish 10-2, get a BCS bid against a superior opponent and lose, or they finish 9-3, get a Gator Bowl bid against an opponent they can beat and win. Go Irish! Beat Midshipmen!
DIG-B is an acronym for "Development in Indy, Gear & Beer." It originated as a place to write about three of my interests, though my Beer writing has since moved over to Hoosier Beer Geek and I haven't written as much about Gear (electronics).
These days, DIG-B is primarily a place where I post the pictures I take of development projects around downtown Indianapolis, though don't be surprised to see Beer, Gear and other assorted topics pop up from time to time.

I love that side of the Block building - I miss living there!
That's a downtown!
Off topic, sort of:

I noticed the four bars the other day while checking out the new bike path on Michigan. Cool observation!
After looking at this picture for about the 50th time, I realized just how bland and beige the skyline is from this angle. Cool and dense, but BLAND!
