  1. Union Station was a great concept.
    The train station theme was brilliant.

    I used to take my children there once a week when they were little.
    They loved the hobby train store, playing the games, the caboose, watching the trains,and getting cookies just before we would leave.
    ****Many great memorie that will always be cherished.****

  2. God Rest His Soul!

    Indianapolis and central Indiana owe a lot of thanks to him and his wife for betting on Indianapolis when few others would do the same.
