It’s not the nap until we seen the potholes post road and East 38th street 🤣
STG, And Brendonshire on the east side is really bad with potholes too
Lets not forget the Hookers of 10th street. Some of them are women !!!
How you what
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let’s not forget it’s probably one of the most dangerous spots to be in Indy when it comes to crime!
I’m so confused I’ve never seen Indianapolis look this good 😂
Go watch my running videos. 😂
Its not that nice ever around here. I hate it here in indianapolis. Bad schools housing is crapy. The the amount of houses being built is drastically rising the housing prices are way too much. If i were you i would choose to live in Brownsburg, carmel, fishers, or the south side right down meridian street by southport road. It has some pretty good houses being built that way. Otherwise dont live here it sucks.
@@artemjford1002 Lawrence for all of it's faults and loose pit bulls in certain areas is actually really nice by the military complex. The homes and restaurants are nice and affordable. Plus Fort Harrison is a great State Park.
Artem J Ford housing doesn’t cost much in Marian county, if anything it’s more in fishers, Brownsburg etc.
@@artemjford1002 You complain about housing prices being too much and then you suggest people live in Carmel or Fishers instead ? I guess you think housing prices are cheaper in Carmel and Fishers ?
The Egyptian Room in Old National Centre is a great place to see a concert, fyi.
Good suggestion. Yea we should have filmed more places like that.
I’ve been there only once for a concert! 🔥
I went there back in '07 to see Chevelle and Sick Puppies. Was definitely a great show!
So is the VOUGE
My high school prom was in there. No concert for me but it is definitely a cool venue!
Lived here all my life. Nothing to complain about, except the streets.if you were given 50 cents for every chuck hole you,LL be rich in a matter of minutes
Until last summer when all of the retards started burning shit lol. Downtown sucked living in.

A Great Catch-Line.
I live 50 miles north of Indianapolis.... great video....very impressed
Thankyou, yea I guess that would be around Layfayette. Great to hear from someone who lives there.
@@TampaAerialMedia Kokomo but almost .... I travel there all the time for the music scene
It is an underrated city. I stopped once travelling down from Chicago to Nashville in 2016 as nothing more than a lunch stop and I was pleasantly surprised. The downtown area is as nice as any outside the major ones on the coasts. Everything is in such close proximity like the Stadiums, Convention Center, Hospitals, University, State Capitol so theres a decent vibrancy which I have found lacking in a lot of other Midwestern and Southern Cities which have really felt the effects of white flight and deindustrialization. Its quite livable as well, lacks the congestion and living costs of the mega cities like Chicago, Atlanta etc never mind NYC and LA.
Downtown Indy looks like crap after the protests.
Actually its not too bad, this was shot 5 days ago. It is pretty well cleaned up. There are some businesses in downtown still boarded up, but there was still plenty to film. The Gov did good by sending in the National Guard very quick and put a stop to the rioting. Minneapolis could take a lesson from Indy in that regard.
yep, that was my thoughts as well, pretty spot on.
There was one night, about 2 months ago. Windows got broke downtown. It wasn’t/isn’t bad. We are an underrated city, but I like it that way. Indy is a great city to live/work in.
For those that don't like/care to fly or drive, taking Amtrak to Indianapolis is an option. The Cardinal (New York to Chicago via Indianapolis) comes through three times a week. Indianapolis Union Station (the world's first Union Station opened here in 1853) is right downtown. Within walking distance is Lucas Oil Stadium (diagonally across the street from Union Station), Gainbridge Fieldhouse, hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, etc.
One of my favorite cities! Love Indycar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My niece got married in Indy. Great city and very clean from what I saw.
I live in Indianapolis for 25 yrs and I'm so grateful is nice and quiet city I'm bless🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹🍁♥️🤑
Lol why are u lying we have the 2 highest homicide
@@mr.fleekofficial8715 right I got shot as an 18 year old here a good number of my friends are dead or in jail. Didn't even grow up on 38th and post either I grew up in nora
@@gello8518 Your individual experience isn't indicative of the rest of the city.
@@mr.fleekofficial8715 We are also one of the largest cities in the U.S. so we're more likely to have a higher crime rate than most other states.
I've lived in Indianapolis for 67 years. I've seen a lot of changes.
Wow! We’re originally from Indy too. Hopefully you were able to capitalize on some amazing real estate during your stay here!!
If you've lived for 67 years, you've seen a lot of changes sir.
@@BB-uu9oo yeah that’s anywhere
yes, i have lived here for over 40 years and there are definitely some changes.
How is that possible if you're 53?
We’re originally from Indy, and it will always be home to us. Indianapolis to Germany to Italy! Thanks for showing off our home in a lovely light!!! ❤️🏙❤️
Thank you for showing our beautiful city. Sometimes we forget to love our own hometown.
my pleasure, thankyou for the nice words.
Indianapolis is one favorite us city. I been there for many times, my brother and my nephew were there. I love restaurants, stadium, airport, circle center mall. It beautiful city 😊 I love it
I totally agree!
Maybe if you dont live here 😂😂😂
Grant Austera Right!😂
I live here and honestly have started appreciating it more since I have started filming and photographing here.
Circle Centre Mall is a ghost town & a dangerous one at that. Used to be nice 20 years ago.
I live in Indianapolis Indiana 30 street I love my city
How is it vacationing there in the winter time? Especially with all of the Covid? Is it boring right now or still worth a visit? Thank you if you have the time to answer.Good day.
I used to live over by turn 4 of the track between 34th and 30th streets west of Georgetown Rd.
I want to move there California isn’t the best place to live in - hoping my little family will be ok there!
@@eivefoxx8312 if u have a family Id say move here . If you’re single and no family and like to do fun things DONT MOVE HERE! it’s boring ! But the price is wayyyyyyyyy cheaper than California. For nice housing move to carmel/fishers . About 20 something mins away from the city
Greetings i live too in indps west 16st
Didn’t know about the canal in downtown!! This summer I believe that loading up the kayaks and making a day trip to Indy from Lexington is a MUST!! Thanks for sharing
You can’t bring and ride your Kayaks in the Canal and be safe it’s not safe going there from afternoon to night
The canal downtown Indianapolis was originally supposed to be part of the Erie Canal. It actually stretches for about 8 miles, and actually crosses a creek via an acqueduct. In the downtown part, you can rent paddle boats.
Indianapolis, Indiana born and raised.
This town looks so beautiful and relaxed. I am from Romania and Im currently learning about the USA and its states and it's all very fascinating although I don't want to move there, but just for fun and general knowledge. There is so much to discover about the USA!
Thankyou Adina, great to hear from Romania
Traiasca Romania Mare!!!
Indianapolis is huge for its sports and war monuments
Our murder rate is ridiculous stay in Romania pls
@@Zayotix Im sorry to hear that. I wasnt planning to move there.. I live in Romania, have a family and well payed job. Society is much calmer here.
If you wanted to go to a nice park in Indy, you should have went to Eagle Creek.
yep true. We didn't do any prep like we normally do, because was not planning to do a video in Indy, but yea probably should have included areas like Eagle Creek.
One of my favorite parks in Indianapolis other one is Garfield on the southside!
Nice video! When I was really young back in the 80's NObody went downtown...it was dirty, crime-ridden....then it became SO beautiful & was the place to go. Unfortunately it's now taking a turn back toward the 80's 😬😢 Thank you for showcasing our city, this brings back memories of when it was beautiful. God Bless you 💕💕
yep a freind of mine who grew up in a nearby city says the same thing. Thanks, blessings back to you as well.
Sin lugar a dudas, Indianápolis es una gran Ciudad. A todas las personas que viven allí, disfruten mucho esta maravillosa ciudad. Wonderfull city
Beautiful city. Lots of fun things to do and great restaurants. I was proud to call it home for six years.
Lots to do shit nothing to do but work and get fat.
yes definitely a lot of good places to eat in indianapolis
Thank you for presenting beautiful Indianapolis! How we miss living there! Hoosier born and proud of it!
Me too lady born in Indy
I moved back to Indianapolis in the 90s after serving in the military because the job market was good and the cost of living was great. You can get alot of house for the money here. BUT there are some social tradeoffs and they are REAL.
wdym by social trade offs
Yes, what social trade offs?
Beautiful monument
Moved here 15 years ago and haven't regretted a second of it. Great video!
Thankyou for the nice words.
Hooray! Love this channel!
Thankyou Jon, for the nice words. We are going to be doing one video a week for atleast the nice 3 weeks.
Great shots. The best time of year in indy is Memorial day weekend through end of June. Such beautiful weather. You highlighted all the spots I love to ride my bike through.
Looks like a beautiful city to visit! So much green space! Great video!
Thank you so much!
Another great video. I lived in Bloomington for a year and only went to Indy to get to the airport (Indy has a really nice airport btw). Those fitness zones look great....outdoor exercise is a great stress reliever and use of public funds imo. Also, I appreciate that you see the GOOD in each city...I'm so sick of people only capitalizing on the bad of different places to get views and not highlighting the good too.
Thankyou for the nice words, yep alot of people like to focus on the negative.
Yeah that's true but unfortunately today you can't use them because you just might get robbed or shot by a certain group of people who are now the it thing in sports and social media!! If your white your now the problem for systematic racism and owe them everything.
They rebuilt the airport years ago that’s why it’s so nice. Also the speedway area has transformed a lot because of the races that happens here.
@@patrickodonnell9388 I’m sure making racist comments on a RUclips video will help with crime problems in the city.
Who knew Indianapolis was so cool 😮👀 well I do now
Transit city with high crime.
@Tony Lewis Your forgot Potholes, Potholes and more Potholes.
Not rly circle city mall is overrated it has mostly clothing stores
Tony Lewis I am a Hoosier And I agree. And also outside the city you see homeless people living shelters.
Dont listen to these assholes. Over a decade here and its a great fun place
Nice job capturing Indianapolis! I lived in a suburb for 21 years. Great sports town.
I've lived in Indy all my life and we definitely love to support our sports
Wow! I didn’t know Indianapolis could be this so beautiful
I've lived in Indy for 3 years. Our family is enjoying it. My youngest son dance for the Indiana Pacers "Blue and Gold Breakers" and he takes breakdance lessons at 31svn Street Dance Academy. His piano teacher is 89 years old and still giving lessons to over 50 kids and adults
Great to hear from someone who lives in Indy, thanks for sharing.
Love our Great City and State. ❤❤
Great video! Well Done!
Thankyou for the nice words, yea Indiana is a great state.
Born and rIsed here and I love my home Definitely not perfect. When I grew up everyone pitched in and kept neighborhood clean .wish some neighborhood would do that now But so love my hometown ❤
You do such an amazing job with your videos.
Thank you so much!
Buncha chiroyli joylar havas qildim. How beautiful places and comfortable places greatt
Wow! Just beautiful, excellent video as always! Thanks again for sharing!❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯💯
Thankyou for saying that.
You showed the building I work in 3 times! Whenever I'm not working from home, right? Well done.
Thankyou for the nice words.
The NCAA headquarter is so excellent and wonderful! I visited Indy for twice and love this city, famous sport city.
one of the most underrated cities in the country... if not the most underrated...
Excellent video ♠️👍🏾 I’ve lived for over 20 years and I’m originally from St. Louis Mo. I had no idea Indianapolis had grown so much downtown. I also didn’t know about the new condos and Colts parks for kids. Keep up the good work!
Glad to see video was taken before the riots. GREAT JOB MAYOR
Actually the video was shot 9 days ago.
Just found this video, very nice views and things I had never heard of before!
I've been a resident of the area for my entire life. This is a great representation of Indy but there is so much more! The Indianapolis Speedway has an entire history unto itself. There is Eagle Creek Park which is one of the best city-urban parks in the country. Just east of downtown is full of historic neighborhoods. North of downtown is Buttler-Tarkington and Broad Ripple. Broad Ripple is full of creativity, art, and food. There is also so much more to do and explore!
yes, i have been a resident of indianapolis all my life and i love Eagle Creek Park.
Thanks for showing Bella got a dog just like her
Thankyou, yea if its a toy poodle, they are great dogs, very smart, easy to train, obedient.
I love it born and raised here
In the city of Diana. We are the “sister” city of Washington DC. LOOK INTO IT. There’s a reason the “Columba club” is adjacent to the monument.
I love that tropical smoothie cafe is randomly hilighted in this video. lol. I do enjoy those smoothies.
Yep they are good.
One of my favorite cities. It was one of the few cities I've visited that is so clean you wouldn't even see gum let alone anything else on the ground.💯
Yep true. They did have some rioting a month ago, but they did a good job and putting that to a hault and cleaned up very well.
Clean my ass
AL H Are you sure you are referring to Indianapolis, Indiana?? I’ve lived here my whole 43 years & never heard anyone say this.
Try getting more than a few blocks from downtown. Gum will be the least of your worries
@@alexfulk8505 That's your mom's job.
The canal is the best place to be in the summer. From the water to the views.
Thumbs up if you live here like me
I still work there, but I moved over to Mooresville. Best of both worlds.
Awesome video. I run a nonprofit organization there. The people in Indiana are the nicest people I have met! All good in Indy!
Thankyou for the nice words.
Once again you show the amazing part of America. Thank you brother love your vlogs . ❤❤❤😍😍😍🇺🇸🇮🇳🤝
Thank,you Amit, I think you'll really like this coming Saturdays video, will show alot of good water scenery, with alittle european setting.
It is a beautiful city makes me want to move in there. That is a romantic river boating experience.
‼️ SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL ❗ I don't know who could have did a better job, Indianapolis was my home during my young adult life, I was born in Muncie. I'm a 68 year old man now been living in Alabama for the past 30 years, interstate 65 north will take me straight on into Indianapolis, every time I get on it if something inside of me just wants to keep driving, I lived at 37th and crescent avenue and rode my bike in the Golden Hill Park edition with all my friends, went to the dairy Queen right there on northwestern I think it might be MLK boulevard now I'm not for sure, but after getting us some ice cream be used to jump the fence of crown Hill cemetery and run up to the top of the hill to see that big monument of James Whitcomb Riley. The days of Innocence, PRICELESS ‼️
Listen to the police scanner at night, it will give you a better view. Bring your own body armor if you want to walk the canal, there isn't any for rent at the kiosk as of yet.
Lol you're comments are killing me! I wish he showed Fishers/Carmel
savanna Chinn fishers people think anything south of 82nd St is the hood
@@eriklakeland3857 Not true, it's south of 96th
@@eriklakeland3857 I grew up in Fishers haha
First recorded Jazz occurred in Richmond Indiana east from Indianapolis on 70 towards the Ohio line!
Great job on the video
Thankyou for the nice words.
The musics you've put in this video are pretty ear-catchy.Can you please put the link of those musics? I want to listen them individually.

Lifetime hoosier. Beautiful clips!
Good video! I live just south of Indianapolis and go to Christ Church Cathedral on the circle. I recommend going to St. Elmo's Steakhouse downtown. My only criticism is that you spelled Indiana wrong in the beginning. You accidentally spelled if as "Indianna." Keep up the good work!
Thankyou for the nice words, yea great suggestion.
I’ve lived in Indianapolis my whole life. I can say I’ve never see it look this good 🤣
ive lived here all my life and i was thinking the same thing. Indiana really looks nice in this video lol
Love Indy lived her my entire life!!
Please stay safe you guys.!'
You missed the best part, the historic areas like the Chatham Arch neighborhood where the James Whitcomb Riley house is on a tree lined brick paved street...it’s beautiful
Yea I wished we would have done a full feature on Indy so many great areas outside of downtown too.
Some good drone video!
Thankyou Robert
Proud to live here!
I plan to study abroad in IUPUI from Japan. Im forward to visiting there !
It would be good if they spelled Indiana right at the beginning! Something to look at folks! Thanks though for a great video though.
Great place 👍
Yay! My home!
The photography in this video is so good it makes Indianapolis seem like a nice place to live.
Thankyou for the nice words
Dang it I live in Indy! Wish to have seen ya there!
Deserves more views tbh
Lived there a long time. Moved to Tampa and it’s like life changingly better than the Midwest. Never going back to that depressing environment
Yep probably a good move
It so amazing an beautiful place.
I would like live in this wonderfull city. Como me gustaría vivir en esta maravillosa Ciudad
Wow wonderful g wonderful
I wish you did some filming on Mass Ave! I would have loved to see my restaurant in your vid :)
Moved here in 2000 from Dallas, TX and haven't regretted it. Both daughters are Hoosiers. Has a lot to offer in its own right and also a reasonably short drive to a number of moderately large cities .... and of course Chicago. Winters are a little long but manageable and spring and fall are spectacular. Looks like COVID Indy though ... streets are empty, downtown is usually full of people.
What is Dallas but a bigger Indianapolis?
@@Imperial0666 - Oh, I don't agree with that. There are very many cultural differences between the two cities.
@@johnmininger7472 it seems like it has more in common with Dallas than it does with Northwest Indiana. And you mentioned proximity to Chicago which really is a feature of Northwest Indiana and not Indianapolis.
I plan on moving to Houston from Indy . I am originally from Chicago .
@@Imperial0666 - I am not sure what point you are trying to make. Indianapolis is more similar to other midwest moderate sized cities than anything else. Maybe at a 1000 ft view, Dallas and Indy are similar ... like they are both car centric cities ... but otherwise they are very different. By proximity to Chicago, I only say that to mean you could easily make Chicago a day trip from Indy, something I've done many times. You might also be surprised at how many people commute between Chicago and Indy for the work week.
Could you please do a video on Milwaukee Wisconsin.?? Indianapolis, Indiana is a beautiful city. 🥳💯🎉
We have been planning Milwaukee the last 2 years, but weather and time did not cooperate. Even on this trip, I was close to buying a new vehicle in Milwaukee, but decided not to. That is a city we really want to do soon.
It resembles the industrial part of Hamburg, Germany regarding the way the canals and parks are being laid out and planned, I am surprised though, I hopefully one day can visit Indianapolis and yes, beautiful downtown, quiet and rather green..
Alexander Ralston laid out Indianapolis based on Pierre l'Enfant's design of Washington, DC (Ralston was l'Enfant's assistant). It was originally planned to be one square mile only, but quickly grew after that, especially after the railroads came to town.
In 1970, it was decided to merge the city and county governments to avoid redundancy. The result was called Unigov. Four municipalities declined to join and retain almost fully autonomous: Lawrence, Southport, Beech Grove, Speedway (the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is technically in the town of Speedway).
@@stereoplayers oh how interesting… so when l’Enfant reintegrated and recreated Paris’s boulevards and squares in Washington DC’s design and planning, Ralston had himself inspired by Hamburg and Gdansk (Danzig)
The Winter is what really turn me down I hate snow and cold. I have been living here for 15 years if not the city is great place
Indy doesnt get nearly as much snow as cities like Chicago and Detroit. Winters in Indy are not as horrible as some make it out to be.
Would to see you do one on Louisville!! 😛😛
I am the man who came up with the catch phrase that Indiana uses today, "The Crossroads of America". Representative, Dick Dodge asked me if he could borrow the phrase after a meeting of the Republican central committee in Steuben county. Never was recognized for that but, I have something to be proud of!
Thats a good piece of info, didn't know that, thanks for sharing.
The historical marker in Terre Haute is actually the crossroad of America. US 40 and US 41.
Cool
Monument Circle reminds me of the sculptures in Philadelphia that are from the Philadelphia Museum of Art to the Courthouse.
yep we filmed this as well in our FL to NY video
@@TampaAerialMedia I spent 8 days in Philly walking the city and riding the trolleys to see the old founding sites. Partial genealogy tour. I will check out your video on it. Thank you. My favorite place was the fountain with all the Native American sculptures in it. It’s a grand city where the full plan was never completed, at least they got that one street completed for the exposition.
Is it a good for seniors living on a budget? Looking for a good reasonable and inexpensive to place to live.
Beautiful video!! New to your channel! Looking for Louisville 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Yep we shot some of Louisville, at some point we'll edit it and show the video.
Born & raised here in "Naptown" and moved to Tampa at 16. Both cities are home and I enjoy both of them very much... Naptown 34th st & Port Tampa #SOG
yep I agree, two really good cities.
@Johnny Rep bro I was literally around the corner from you. Old Remebrandt apartments, Dale Mabry, Gandy. AFB has it's on city behind them gates
Spell check! Nice video 👍
I live 10 minutes from downtown indy. Yes the crime is terrible and yes theres a lot of potholes. With any big city there will be crime. We live in the midwest so yes there will be potholes. All the positives about our city though outweighs the negative. I've lived here my entire life and I wouldn't trade it for the world! Even though indy is a big city it still feels so homely because everyone knows everyone.
Indy’s suburban sprawl and giant city limits make potholes worse. The low density development doesn’t yield enough tax revenue to pay for the enormous amount of road maintenance. Combine that with a lot of freeze-thaw cycles and state representatives pillaging our funds for rural projects and you get our Swiss cheese roads.
They're also putting up new cameras all over downtown so the police can tell your family what color mask the person who shot you was wearing.
Most likely it will be the blue one with Indy in white letters😂 Your comment is probably the best one I read here in the comments section! 💯😂
Nice video
Thankyou.
the Pacers brought me here x)
If you ever showcase smaller cities, Noblesville is a great and beautiful suburb of Indy!
I agree! And everyone there is so nice too (:
Yea would love to do more of the smaller cities in Indiana.
probably the best Indianapolis video i’ve ever seen. and the most positive comments. i always say most people that come here like it. all the trolls....a lot have never been here. or they came in the 80s or early 90s. Indy grew so much after 2000 till now.
I live in Indianapolis and I went down town before
okay im so confused why this is in my recommended, its like they know where I live...
They do, Google knows everything.
