I stayed at a hotel in downtown Indianapolis and had a great time. The streets were very clean and lit up, bars and restaurants were open. I felt safe walking around at night. If I had to live in Indy it would definitely be downtown. Now the rest of the city is depressing. Moving outward from any direction from the circle and you’ll find miles and miles of run down neighborhoods until you emerge into more middle class suburban like streets. Still downtown is a better choice if you’re single, younger and don’t have to raise a family.
got the same vibe visiting indy... theres some nice areas outside of downtown (broad ripple, meridian hills) but most of the city is rough
Your statement is absolutely right 😊I am from Indiana. Most people downtown are younger who enjoy the bars and events
One of the best downtowns in the Midwest!!
Don't forget you have to have a good income to live downtown. All the apartments downtown are very expensive.😅😢😢
@@danielthoman7324Downtown Indy is still a bargain compared to most cities I’ve visited. And those other cities aren’t even as pedestrian-friendly. I’d call Indy one of the country’s best kept secrets,
After seeing excellent recent work you have done Chris I continue to look at your older work. I moved to Indy area in 2004 and remain here now retired. I had to walk to get the beauty of the city that you have captured by driving. I continue to be amazed how you share facts about a place in a wise unified manner. That is a rare skill set. I truly respect the tremendous effort you put into your work and through reading various sources have learned how very very tough it is to reamin on RUclips in a viable fashion. Win or lose I predict the skill set you have will at the very minimum give pleasure to and inspire you for the rest of your life. In the meantime here is wishing your work is recognized in a profitable way. Craig
Thanks for the kind words in this comment and the several others that you have made, Craig! - My newer stuff is much better produced than my older stuff huh... Growing pains.
I miss Indianapolis
I think Downtown Indianapolis has a distinctive architecture as well as the city's overall beauty, Chris Harden!
I was working on the circle in 2012, too. The things I miss are so weird: Paradise Bread in the Chase building, When Eddie Met Salad, King David Dogs.
I'm visiting, first time, next month. You opened on Kentucky by the Holiday Inn I rented for 5 days. What luck! Now I know what to expect. It's a beautiful, clean downtown. Thankyou
Very well done.
The Indianapolis 500 is the greatest testicle in racing.
I like your colorful comemtary.
*amazing insight*
Awesome downtown. Thanks for all these amazing videos! I love traveling so it's great to see cities I havent been to yet. And with awesome narration I might add. If you ever make it to Missouri again you should check out Springfield. Also known as Springvegas.
Been there actually, stayed in a hotel next to a retro looking steak n’ shake. Just haven’t with a camera (yet) and it’s been maybe 5 or 6 years.
Can’t wait to move back to Indy this year! 😁
Imagine wanting to move to a city like this. Boringgggg
The Soldiers Sailors Monument once fell into a state of disrepair and had developed a greenish mold to it's surface. I remember when David Letterman lived in Broadripple district of Indy, where he worked as a weatherman for a local TV station, he referred to the Soldier Sailors Monument as a "Giant
asparagus." Many were outraged and he almost got fired. I guess the people of Indy loved their soldiers sailors monument (wonder if that is true today). I remember it being a very rainy day in Indy and Letterman said it was raining "canned hams.' and many people thought it was unprofessional. Touchy, touchy.
.... Indy can be hilariously sensitive at times. Hence why I threw in the Peyton Manning and Reggie Miller jabs.
@@ChrisHarden Exactly
@@ChrisHarden Reggie and Peyton didn't resort to cheating. Hoosiers HATE Brady. You are too young to remember Marino from Miami. He was a good QB without a good enough line to get him to trophy. All 22 thumbs down Are Colts fans. LOL The Patriots are like the devil. Keep cranking them out.
@@ChrisHarden try going to any city and making jokes about their team, try that in Louisville and they don’t even have a pro basketball team or Ohio state in Columbus lol 😂
@@ChrisHarden
Nothing hilarious about saying Tom Brady is better. Payton Manning is not the greatest quarterback of all time and he's not my favorite Indianapolis Colts QB, but he was much better than Tom Brady. I live in Los Angeles, and a former neighbor who used to be a quarterback for a major university said that he'd rather have Payton than Brady as the QB for his team. Inexplicably, he was a huge fan of all Boston teams so New England was his favorite football team, the Red Sox was his favorite baseball team, and the Celtics were his favorite basketball team. He knew sports, played all three in high school and college, and always had his teams on when they were on TV. Regardless of how he felt, Tom Brady is a loser. He's a cheater and isn't better or the greatest at anything except for maybe cheating and getting away with it. Don't you care about all of the players who were cheated out of a championship because of him and Bill Bel-I-CHEAT and Edelman (Super Bowl LIII MVP who was suspended earlier in the same season for cheating) and Kraft and the refs (at Gillette stadium) and the fans (setting off fire alarms at 3 o'clock in the morning in the hotels where their Super Bowl opponents were staying)? Where's your integrity? Even as a pathetic cheater, Tom Brady barely won any of his Super Bowls (no blowouts like Joe Montana, for example), was handed at least two wins by St. Louis (only points New England scored in entire game was off of four turnovers except for the final drive where all Brady could muster was getting into FG range) and Seattle, handed another thanks to Atlanta being penalized for cheating (which all players and teams should be when they cheat), and was beaten by a rookie (Nick Foles) and by Eli Manning twice. Hardly the greatest of all time and definitely not better than Payton.
There is a lot to do on Mass Ave. I love to hear them turn the corner on that rolling drinking cart 😂 .
My 65 GTO was on display at the circle a few times during 80s and 90s when I lived there.
The building to the right you mentioned is not state government offices, it is the Old Federal Building. And Indianapolis was not tagged with "Naptown" in the 1980's. That name came about long long before that in the early 1900's. Servicemen during WWII referred to it as Naptown.
It’s always hilarious how people not from Indy try to give their opinions on the city, you are 💯 correct on the name plus the urban name came simply by the spelling of the city. Indie -a- NAP- olis. Makes perfect sense to me. Lol plus the crime rate in Indy isn’t any worse than any major city in the country.
Nap is also heavily used in local music, particularly rap
Hi Chris Harden, I'm Dennis Daniels from Cleveland, Ohio! Thanks for sharing your video about Indianapolis known as the circle city!
What's the instrumental being used?
Dirtbike rideout finna be lit
Indianapolis needs a few more buildings. It's skyline is a little small for its size.
Not enough investment and growth to justify it lol. I think unless indy has alot more "unicorn" billion dollar businesses (or even multi-hundred dollar ones), there will not be much growth in terms of buildings since the majority of the scyscrapers built in cities are usually built to set up some corp headquarter.
@@painexotic3757 indys wealth is in its suburbs
@@painexotic3757 cities are building skyscraper lofts
@@rahimi4762 Doubtful. Most of the skyscrapers built usually have multiple purposes (mixed-used). I's rare to find one with only living spaces. Even hotels usually have shops and offices in them to justify the costs.
@@painexotic3757 look at Charlotte, Nashville, Chicago, Columbus. But agreed. However a lot of cities are building loft/hotel towers
great 🙂
Great video!
I’d love to visit this city
The day🤞🏼when I see your channel w/ Louisville or even Lexington in the title.. gonna be one of my FASTEST clicks ever!! Haha
And if you ever do Lville please include the Highland neighborhoods(just east of DT) into your KY playlist! Bonnycastle, Cherokee Triangle ect.. Really wish there were more videos on Tube that showed off more of L’ville’s BEAUTIFUL sides besides only focusing on “the hoods” of Lou(E!)ville!! Also the BEAUTIFUL “OldLville” just south of DT, is also eye Candy!! OldLouisville District is home to the largest contiguous collection of Victorian mansions in the United States.
🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼thanks!!
Your videos/commentary of ST LOUIS totally changed my views on the city 👍🏼
Every video I make on a place I'll add it to a the playlist of the state that it's in.
Next time you come to my city you gotta check in bro ❗️ Let it be known next time. Out the gate.
The computer gangster has spoken. Scary!!! LOL LOL LOL
And at 7:13, you can see the Methadone Clinic on the left of your screen! Lol
Ay man
Peyton was a better player , Brady always had the better defenses and head coaching
And Reggie would have had at least one if it wasn’t for GA
Many would look at Reggie different!!!
ong bro trippin, we don't play bout them niggas here 😂😂
Peyton Manning was a lot better than Peyton and Brady for as good as he is that dude has had more luck than any other professional athletes
i looked at going to IUPUI... was pretty impressed with downtown indy when i visited IUPUI (im not from indiana) though the city as a whole not so much
The Government Building you passed on North Meridian Street is the US Federal Court House. Not a State Government Building.
I never get to see the buildings while driving this is so wonderful. Ah, there’s my favorite area. Best view of Indy
I have not been to Indiana
You are very beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hoosiers love the slower pace and spread out space with a corn field never too far away. There is more than corn in Indiana...barely. Work is and always has been plentiful, if you can't find a job here then you ain't looking.
You missed several opportunities to slow the music to highlight the big wheel cars.
Nationally as well as local, the crime rate is from a certain demographic culture but no one can say it out loud. All malls take a hit here because parents of this culture drop their teenage kids off and pick them up later in the evening.
Absolutely 😊
Its October 20201, and all the streets in downtown Indy are tore up, major construction, all over downtown. This video would look very different.
I take it you’re probably not a “fan” since you didn’t mention her but I’m so jealous about your Super Bowl experience because that’s the year Madonna was the half time show!!! 💜💜‼️‼️👸🏼
I was standing right in front of the stage. I’ll never forget it.
I wouldn’t say that I’m a Madonna fan but it was a great halftime show that added to the experience.
I was very lucky to be there.
One of the worst Super Bowl halftime shows that I've ever seen. It was pathetic but not surprising considering the untalented loser who was headlining.
GO COLTS!!
I’m a Hoosier who cheers on the colts every year
Downtown so nice...until it gets dark, here they come?
I remember visiting a childhood friend of mine that moved to Indianapolis Ind to go to school to the university in Bloomington him and his wife decided to settle in he took me sightseeing and I asked what do they do for fun and he said drive around monument square all night that's what the teenagers do he said but seriously it was kinda dead at 8:00 pm this was back in the late eighties they also had laser tag at some building too . Than he said well I guess I'm a Hoosier. 😂
🤣
It’s a different world now. Super late nightlife now. Lots going on.
I'm from Chicago and I just moved here from Indianapolis and I see the good and the bad!!! But u know what it's a sad shame the crimes is is low down and ratchet #put the hate and guns down!!👹👹👹😡😡
I recommend doing some NW Indiana!
One day. NW Indiana is one of my top requests.
Most definitely 😊
Couldnt come show how badass the Eastside is?
lmfaoooo!! I lived on Washington and Emerson for a month and had to come back to the West Side. It wasn't the drugs and prostitutes that did it, it was the bedbugs and the boy walking down the street carrying a dead squirrel, by a pencil through the eyesocket that put me over the edge lol
I'm from Mooresville Indiana
I'm from Indiana. Not a fan of Netanyahu but I got close family from Israel
I’m from Indianapolis, never been to mooresville Indiana
Aren't you special!😢
Okay, I will disregard some of the insults you have bolstered about Reggie Miller and Peyton Manning (THE G.O.A.T), but I will educate you on a couple of things. While our Soldiers and Sailors Monument may be at the center of the hub, it is the 2nd most popular landmark in Indy. The first would be the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Secondly, is the way you pronounced IUPUI...for native Hoosiers, and those who grew up in the Circle City, it's Oooey Pooey (think Oooey Gooey, like hot caramel) not Uey Puey (or however you pronounced it). Don't shoot the messenger, it's just how it's done. It's a Hoosier thing.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is in the city of Speedway, Indiana, separate from Indianapolis. Still there's plenty of landmarks that you could debate amongst being the most well known... It was a subjective statement. Lucas Oil, Bankers Life, the Indiana State Capitol to name a few.
... and for IUPUI... Uey Puey, Oooey Pooey, Ewwey Poopy same thing lol.
@@ChrisHarden - it’s still called the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the race is called the Indianapolis 500! It’s still part of Indianapolis!
@@zuozhen4758 Doesn’t matter what it’s called. It’s technically in the city of Speedway, not Indianapolis.
@@ChrisHarden you’re technically correct but it’s no different than a lot of cities that have pro teams that play in the suburbs but we recognize the team by the major city it’s close to, like the Detroit lions don’t play in Detroit but in Pontiac. Do we say the Pontiac lions? Lol
I understand your point but it’s like folks call Indy out on things that are done nationwide. The pacers are called The Indiana Pacers not the Indianapolis Pacers ect ect
@@ChrisHarden was the city there first or the speedway
We have lived in Indy for 2 years and hate it. (Seems to be lots of crime and poverty and doesn’t seem very family friendly/oriented. Plus, we’re not very big into sports) would St. Louis be any better?? I keep eying that city thinking it seems cool but not sure if it’s just a “grass is greener in the other side” kind of deal. Any advice?
I’d say that it could be a grass is greener situation, but also maybe not. Maybe move to Fishers or Carmel?
I feel safe in saying that just about every major metro area in the Midwest cares a lot about their local sports teams. It’s also true that nearly every big city has its issues with crime whereas the suburbs of those cities are some of the best cities to live in the country.
For Indy it’s Carmel & Fishers. St. Louis has more options as it’s a larger metro area. Although, a good portion of the St. Louis area has a blue collar culture of beer drinkin’ and watching sports. Columbus, Ohio has much less crime than Indy, but you won’t be able to escape the college sports scene.
Both Chicago and Detroit have a large amount of incredibly nice suburbs to live in contrary to popular belief. Both metro areas have good diversity even in the wealthy areas, but both also have huge sports cultures.
It just depends on what you’re looking for. Maybe go visit some places yourself and see if you can find the time and see if any place sticks out to you. Nashville, TN maybe? So many places to chose from.
If you don't like crime and poverty, stay away from St. Louis.
I suggest you seriously do your homework on Saint Louise. The crime there is just as bad if not worse. Anybody from Indianapolis knows that you have to live in the suburbs like Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Nobelsville, Brownsburg, Avon, Plainfield to have that good quality of life or to raise a family. To be honest Indy is no different than any city in the country. People need to understand this. You won’t escape crime, racism or bad politics. I don’t care what city or state, you name it and I’ll make an argument that Indy is following the national trend on every level. Let’s be fair and honest here, if you want to live good you gotta have the money to live in the good areas of any city. That’s just the facts and Indy is no different. I live in Hamilton county and love it and I would put Hamilton county against any county or suburb in the nation. Facts
Lincoln or Omaha is good
St. Louis is worst- Cincinnati-Milwaukee- and Iowa Illinois, are decent places to live
There's plenty on latin nightclubs here now
where at?
@@KCChief1204 on the west side! You'll see a few around 38th Street
Dang my hometown with a population of 46,000 has more traffic
Let’s not be ridiculous. 46,000 is how many students are in indys public school system. Plus I’m not sure if you’ve heard but there’s a pandemic going on nationwide and most cities downtown looking pretty dead with traffic. If you knew anything about Indy you would know it had one of the busiest and vibrant downtowns for a midsize city. Go look at videos from 2-3 years ago and you’ll see what I’m talking about.plus it depends what time he made the video and people were at work probably
That's a joke lol have you ever been in 465
This was right after riots so no one was going down there except people that had tp
I serious doubt this. Dude did this during the pandemic. I work downtown. It’s bumper to bumper almost all hours of the day.
Figure Cahokia would've been referred to as Indianapolis,.
Peyton only won one championship because the Colts didn't cheat like New England. The Patriots have been caught cheating twice and Tom Brady once since they started winning championships. Indy has been caught cheating zero times since they became a franchise in the 50's. Cheating makes you an automatic loser so Brady is a loser, and don't bring up the Suck For Luck campaign because they didn't lose on purpose but instead just played terrible players so they wouldn't have a chance to win.
I can name all of the main core of players for the Pacers from the 90's:
Ric Smits
Antonio Davis
Dale Davis
Reggie Miller
Mark Jackson
Jalen Rose
They were all great but Reggie was the only consistent player from those days. He took a crappy team and made them great. Reggie and Peyton are the gods of Indy
It so weird to see a large city's Downtown roads so bad.
San Diego is like that too
You haven’t traveled much have you? Or you would know that’s an issues in many cities.
you shouldn't make fun of the Indianas.
the people there have feelings too you know
Behind those beautiful downtown buildings, there is a harsh reality that one can't see. People full of aggression and hatred, poverty, crime, and lots of other ugly things.
It's like that everywhere!😮
Indianoplace*
Not Indiana no place. That doesn’t have the same catchiness to it
Tom Brady over Peyton Manning! Ha! 🤣
Nap town
Music is annoying
Nope! Peyton Manning is better than Brady! Lol Tom just had better teams/defenses
Indiana is my hometown and as a human being I don’t claim it . I hate it here 😀
Instead of just complaining....move.
Lol imma move here from Chicago
INDIANA ISN'T A TOWN.
And get out, we don't want you.
@@hoosierproud7718 indianapolis a nice place idk why he hates it so much
What a dump.
What a boring place and way to present a city. Driving a automobile,no interaction with locals. Just some camera and a voice. Lazy !!
They downtown weak Illinois better Chicago 🥴
Yeah, I guess if you want a better chance of being robbed or murdered by a bunch of loser thugs, then Chicago is your town. It's tragic what the losers have done to the great cities in the U.S. Chicago used to be a great city.
Stupid is as stupid says😅
