Residence Inn Indianapolis North, Indianapolis

More than just the 500!

Advantages: More than meets the eye
Disadvantages: Often overlooked

here is one to remember. This year's new year's festivities ran about $200 per person. Both of these restaurants have become 'regular' places for us to go on festive occasions, but neither our wallets nor our waistlines permit any more regular outtings. But, for a real treat in Indianapolis, do visit these restaurants. --Rick's Cafe Boatyard-- This is a fun and festive place on the north-west side of town, near the end of 38th Street. The restaurant is situated on one of the Eagle Creek lakes, which is how it gets its name. In the warmer weather, there is outdoor dining as well as indoor; they have a wonderful large space that has huge windows that look out on the lake so that one may get a sense of the being on the water even while inside. The restaurant also includes a bar and conference/banqueting facilities for personal ...

Review of Indianapolis

The Sinking Of The USS Indianapolis

Advantages: Is actually a semi serious piece for once
Disadvantages: Was written some while ago

This is a true story about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis in WWII by a Japanese submarine. The ship had just delivered the detonator for the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, and was sunk on its return journey with the surviving crew experiencing a hellish four days floating in shark infested waters.

With twelve minutes of spewing oil and thunder, She rose up and rolled, then quickly slipped under. Of twelve hundred men, three quarters alive Floated in groups and prayed help would arrive.

Review of Poetry

If you are passing it is well worth popping in

Advantages: We had an unexpected and fun day
Disadvantages: Took us even longer to get to Nashville

We were supposed to be only passing Indianapolis on our travels between Chicago and Nashville, but due to traffic jams and the need for sleep and a beer or two we decided to stop just outside Indianapolis in one of the many a road side Motels. Now none of us were really great motor racing fans but the gentleman told us you can not visit Indianapolis without going to the circuit. At the time we were not too sure but after a few beers decided we would pop in on the way past and we were so glad we did. When we actually found the way into the circuit (it felt like we did a couple of laps looking for the entrance) we paid our three dollar's museum entry and the extra three dollars for a trip round the circuit. After I look round the museum so we could learn a little about the sport, we went on the trip round the track. It was basically ...
