I loved this structure and the concept from the first time I saw early drawings of what it was going to be. One of the most impressive features in downtown Indianapolis, not merely because of the distinctive architecture, but because it brings the converging elements of downtown together…spanning major arteries and linking adjacent hotels, businesses and Circle Centre. Years later, it’s still exciting to drive or walk around the corner, look down and see it there.
This view through American Legion Mall provides a timely perspective on both the current weather conditions and the Indianapolis skyline. The white streaks that are visible, especially on dark backgrounds, are snowflakes as caught by the camera lens as they float to the ground. I was close by so I stopped to see this scene on purpose. I’m drawn to the contrast that time provides… the ‘then and now effect’ if you will. Interesting
If you travel down Capital Avenue near downtown, it’s easy to forget that the Hoosier Dome was ever there at all. The building that was so much a part of the downtown landscape and sports history has vanished. That was part of the deal put together to build Lucas Oil Stadium. By the way, I like it’s nickname ‘The Luke’. Has a bit more swagger don’t you think? Like it’s ‘one
Thought it was interesting to see the progress made on the new Marriott on Washington St. downtown near White River State Park. If you go by there often, you don’t notice the changes.

I was doing a little shopping at Circle Centre the day I took this. If this were taken today it would be covered in several inches of snow. But I really liked this shot looking north into the distance on Illinois Street with the overhead walkway to Circle Centre and glass exterior of the Arts Garden underneath beyond. I almost didn’t post it though because of the reckless driving warning and road construction signs.
This is truly one of the landmark buildings in Indianapolis. There has been a city market on this location at 222 E. Market Street since the 1820′s. A larger building replaced the first one in 1886, a lot of which has been preserved and still a part of the current structure. The Market has undergone a lot of changes over the years as the times themselves changed. And now, there’s lot’s of
The Indiana War Memorial, located between Pennsylvania and Meridian Streets just south of Michigan Street, is one of those buildings that people have seen for years but most pass by, including me, while coming or going downtown. Both of these photos were taken on two different days when I was doing just that. It’s an imposing structure and has a mysterious air about it just because very few know much about it.
