Someone sent this to me a few months ago. The home I was raised in was very close to the Indianapolis Speedway. I have been inside the track and watch a few races there. Still, I never realized how big the Speedway is.
When you are driving by the Speedway, you can only drive by two sides, the south and west sides. From the street, it does not look this big.
If you work near the Indianapolis International Airport, chances are you know about The Airport Deli. If not, I’m here to tell you. I love this little restaurant located on Indianapolis’ westside.
Coverted from a small bungalow home, it is a quaint little place and everyone is very friendly.
It’s a great place to grab a quick lunch, with easy access from the airport and businesses around the airpark. My favorite is the warm pastrami sandwich, while my daughter likes the chicken salad with marinated vegetables. Homemade potato chips, made on site, are a rare treat and homemade soup du jour served daily.
They are only open for lunch, Monday thru Friday, 10–4.

Bush Stadium stands as a remnant of what it once was. In the glory days of it’s youth, the stadium was revered as one of the finest ball fields in Minor League baseball. As former home to the Indianapolis Indians, and the Indianapolis Clowns Negro League team, Bush Stadium was most recently used as midget car race track. Today, it has been vacant for eight years and is owned by Indy Parks.
Although just a remnant, it still stands. Now, the question is what to do with the building which was once filled with baseball fans. For many, the building and grounds are an eyesore, while others want to see it remain. The city is not prepared for the cost of rehabbing the building and it is unlikely the stadium will ever be used for sports again. The chances of it being demolished are slim, since the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
There has been much talk about what to do with the stadium in the last few months. Much of the speculation has the building remodeled and used in some fashion for life science facilities. The buildings location along White River at 16th Street makes for a quick trip to IUPUI and medical facilities like Wishard Memorial, Indiana University Medical Center and Riley Childrens Hospital.
Whatever it becomes, I hope the original building remains as part of the new plans.

The first snow is always the prettiest. After that, not so much. Unless, of course the first snow is before Christmas, then snow is beautiful on Christmas Day. Hopefully, this year will bring a white Christmas to Indianapolis.
I actually didn’t have to change the picture to black and white. The sky was grey, the tree branches black and the snow, a beautiful layer of white.
IndyGo is the name of the public transit system here in Indianapolis. Thanks to the brilliant colors and Ossip Eye Care, I couldn’t miss this one! 
They recently completed the round-a-bout at W Morris and Raceway Rd in Wayne Township. I like round-a-bouts and believe they will help with the traffic movement on 100S. They already make a difference at this intersection. What used to be a long wait at the traffic light is now a smooth turn. The problem is, there is no where to stop and get pictures.
This church on the corner of the intersection is a favorite of mine to photograph. I’ve never been able to get a good picture until this week.This was a good week for taking pictures on the move. I did have to use the straighten tool on my photo editor. I can’t drive and take straight pictures.
This photo was taken heading north on Raceway.
This picture was taken heading east on W. Morris.
This picture was taken from the roundabout. I converted to Black and White with a blue background.

Driving west on 21st Street from Speedway to Avon provides a showcase of the beauty of a fall day. There are two areas where the trees provide a canopy across the street. Further along, the railroad overpass turned out to be another picture perfect view of fall.
I really enjoy driving this time of year. Every day brings a change to the scenery.
Literally, the Town of Speedway has painted the town or at least bits and pieces of it. Befitting the town, everything you see reminds you that you are in the racing capital of the world. Fom billboards to banners, water towers and the overpass.
