Great article Mr Gallagher!
I’m familiar with Columbus, OH (my wife are Ohio University grads) and have traveled to and visited the city many times. But, I’ve lived in Indy/Greenwood since 1972 and am appalled by the degradation of Marion county and it’s neighborhoods. The BLM riots sure didn’t help anything, and a weak Democrat mayor (Hogsett) and City Council is floundering on all fronts. I know avoid going downtown, even in daytime.
We sure need some Government & Corporate leadership and try to regain the vitality that Indianapolis developed from 1960-2000. There are rays of sunshine, but until the shooting/killings subside and neighborhoods are allowed to flourish, we are doomed to further decline.
Looking forward to your next article.
How often are people going to milk the “BLM riots,” to push their political agenda? This was a one time civil unrest that happened a year ago, and which occurred in MOST other cities in the U.S. (e.g. Nashville, Dallas, Louisville, Houston, Oklahoma City, LA, NYC, Chicago, San Diego, Miami, etc.) INCLUDING in Columbus, OH.
As for Indianapolis, like many cities, it has long had some troubled neighborhoods, including for years under Republican Mayors and City-County Councils (I remember well the Hudnut, Goldsmith, and Ballard years). Some have stayed bad, a few have become worse, and a number have improved.
Great article. Columbus by the way has shooting as well, But Columbus has managed to maintain a more positive and proactive stance in improving the city. And, perhaps more important, Columbus does not have home-grown legislators who seek enact vindictive legislation to thwart development and improvements.
While significant changes have occurred, much of Indianapolis remains based in and industrial city mindset. Public education is poor and this is a key negative for families to purchase, improve and remain in Indianapolis. Basic infrastructure such as sidewalks and streetlights is lacking in much of the city. A drive along Washington Street from the airport is an embarrassment. A significant strong sense of neighborhood and community pride does not exist on a uniform basis in the city. Incentives to improve neighborhoods and existing housing is needed — ‘Good Bones’ type efforts need to expand.
Columbus has benefitted from a major university for a number of years. The students and their interaction in the central city has proved a fantastic support to liveliness. Honestly, Indianapolis is not an attractive place for college grads, but this can and should change despite the overarching and negative actions from the Statehouse.
