Indianapolis, IN: A Photographic Portrait

by Shari Held

Overview

Downtown Indianapolis has been steadily reinventing itself over the past decade to enhance the pedestrian experience. Many of the city's top attractions are now conveniently located in Downtown's scenic White River State Park.

Monument Circle, the city's signature landmark, remains the heart of this vibrant city, but the seven cultural districts, each with its own distinct flavor, are not to be missed. Visitors can easily take in the sights by walking or biking on the eightmile Indianapolis Cultural Trail connecting the neighborhoods.

And speaking of flavor, Indy's restaurant scene has it all—from casual street food to farmto table cuisine to legendary St. Elmo's Steakhouse. In fact, Condé Nast Traveler has called Indianapolis "America's Most Underrated Food City."

Indianapolis boasts awardwinning theatres, art galleries, museums, entertainment venues, sports facilities, and monuments. These are interspersed with the natural beauty of parks featuring wildlife, beautiful foliage, and waterways. And as the seasons change, so does the Indianapolis landscape.

Indianapolis may be the "Crossroads of America" but it's also a city on the move. Sit back, peruse this photographic portrait of the city by photographer Jason Lavengood, and see for yourself.
