Jail Bird v2.0

I have been under the weather for a few days, so I wasen't been able to get many shots over the weekend. This is a revision of a shot I posted last October; this was taken on Virginia Avenue, close to Maryland Street...


The original post is located here...

On S. Harding Street

These were taken on Harding Street, from W. Washington Street to Oliver Avenue...

These are best if viewed large:




My bike and I can cast a large shadow...

Harding Street Pub and Grub...

On W. 11th Street

Wabash Street Relic

In the Wabash Street alleyway between Delaware and Pennsylvania Streets...

Indianapolis Architecture - Sacred Heart Church

One of the architectural jewels of the south side; I will have to do a future post on the inside in the future, its quite amazing. If memory serves, I believe it was built by German immigrants (like much of the architecture on the south side) in the 1870's.

Haughville Castle

This structure along 10th street has always intrigued me. I have some closeups of the other places around the building for a full Haughville Neighborhood post I will do once I am finished shooting the area.

This is definitely much better if viewed large...

On E. Prospect Street

A real junkyard dog protested my presence here...Luckily a chain separated me from the surly Rottweiler...


Safety and quality, no doubt; but the environment is quite a lofty claim for the king of Indianapolis Brown fields...I can't even imagine what the remediation and reclamation cost of this place would be. Walk anywhere close and you can smell the benzene and coal tar. There was recently a good post about brown field development on Urban Indy, and may accessed here.


Yes, it says boobies can....


Not your grandma's coke oven...What?

This red stuff was bubbling up out of the ground, running down the street, and into a storm drain (which undoubtedly drains into the nearby Pleasant Run).

More invasive flora...

Changing of the Guard

This little time capsule is located on West 10th Street, shortly before Belmont Avenue...

New York and Keystone

It will move though your colon faster than a speeding bullet and with more power than a locomotive; well alright that's enough of that.

On West Michigan Street

On W. Michigan Street, between Belmont and King...

Eerie Alabama

On Alabama Street, just north of 13th Street...

New Additions

In Front of Sacred Heart Church

On Union Street in the South Meridian area...

10th and Sherman

I love E. 10th Street; it is probably one of the most intact urban corridors in Indianapolis. Despite the challenges it faces, mainly being decay and crime rates that are higher than many other parts of the city, it remains a vibrant corridor.

These photos were shot at or around the intersection of 10th and Sherman Dr.

On N. Capitol Avenue

These were taken on North Capitol Avenue, close to where it intersects with St. Clair Street.

The dude to the right looks confused, perhaps he tried to do his own taxes...

Fountain Square Thursday Night

Well OK, more like a Thursday dusk, but night rolls off the tongue...Sort of...

On South Davidson Street

These were taken on Davidson Street, just south of Washington Street. This area is mostly abandoned, but the viaduct running over Pogue's Run provides a makeshift community for some the homeless people in the area. This area is usually busy with all kinds of people, but for some reason, I only saw one person around on this day...

The Pour House is an advocacy group helping homeless individuals around Indianapolis with finding jobs, practical needs, and other support.
