Have you been downtown around the Circle lately? There’s some interesting things going on there now at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. The crew was hard at work today working on what I am told is some needed repairs, updates and face lifting. There’s a huge, tall crane with a cable that is supporting this yellow bucket with two workers inside. It was kind of fun to watch them swing the crane to adjust their position on the outside of the Monument. What I didn’t notice till after I looked at this photo later, but you can also see the hardhats of other workers through the windows of the observation room.
When you think of landmarks that symbolize Indianapolis, a short list comes to mind. Included might be the Indy 500 Speedway, or the Colt’s Lucas Oil Stadium, or maybe the Arts Garden and Circle Centre, or the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and some others of course too. Still, I think this is the one that is at the top of the list. The Monument. It’s been around since the mid 1860′s… long before any of the others were even a dream. Nice to see they are taking care of it.
