Just a quick post to let y'all know that
severity_softly and I survived our encounter with the near-east side, found Coop's mama's house, and took some awesome pictures of the side of Indianapolis that Mayor Ballard wishes
didn't exist. Also ate at Bazbeaux, where she had fancy pizza and my half was boring.

We also did the Canal Walk downtown and saw the Birch Bayh Federal Building, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument (sadly still closed for renovation), and got catcalled three times. Never happens to me when I'm alone, so it must be that
severity_softly is the hottie of the two of us. Walked along Kissing Lane, but my wifey refused to put out or even hold my hand. :P We also bought tea in a little tea shop and took in a fun comedy act by Dwayne Perkins. We've driven all OVER this city today.
Tomorrow I'm thinking Crown Hill Cemetery to find John Dillinger's grave and see where Coops' grampaw is buried, then Broadripple Village before supper with my parents.
And now we're working on the novel while trying to ignore the obnoxious high school soccer players in our hotel.
