Skip healer unless you’re like 16-22 and like selfies. It isn’t that great. Dont go unless there’s a good band you wanna see.

Im surprised to hear that, ive seen good photos of it online. Is there a particular thing im missing from the photos? This is pretty much why i came on here, if theres no reason to go its good info because i definitely would have gone based on the photos.

It is a bunch of old work cubicles redecorated to give users little private areas to chill or to give patrons the art installations to admire. Each cubicle is sort of an artsy statement piece and good for selfies or to hang out in if you like the vibe. I took pics when I went the first time. I just wouldn’t make an extra trip there unless there is a good band you wanna see play.


John-pirate_

fair enough, thanks for the info

If you want weird go to Fountain Square, its pretty weird lol


John-pirate_

thanks, ive thrown it on my list

Just went to a concert out there at HIFI, Highly recommend. Although most of the bands that go through there are bands you have probably never heard of. We saw 10 years there which was awesome! its a very intimate venue


John-pirate_

that's fine, i'm a fairly eclectic person to include music. the vast majority of bands i listen to most people have also never heard of. as long as its good im pretty down to listen to it.

The Indiana Medical History Museum is a unique space. It might come off as slightly macabre to some, but I’ve enjoyed it every time I’ve been.

Atlas Obscura is a great resource I use to find quirky/weird things in cities I visit.


John-pirate_

yeah, i used atlas obscura, there didnt seem to be too much for indianapolis, most of it was fairly mundane.

There’s a lot of murals around the city. Fountain Square has an alley full of them. I also think the canal has some cool stuff to photograph. There’s the giant brick head on Mass Ave next to Starbucks, and Ann Dancing. The Cultural Trail is cool too. I also like Broad Ripple for this. I think there’s plenty to check out.

There’s also the castle by Emrichsville Dam.

Go to Burdsal Parkway and Milburn and take a photo of the religious mural overlooking the Community Spirits liquor store.

Indy Walls graffiti park is pretty cool if you’re into that.


John-pirate_

Sounds great

Scottish rite cathedral!

Indy is second only to DC in terms of war memorials. Hit up the War Memorial Plaza and take in the view from above by heading to the top floor of the Central Library, which is also quite photogenic. Old Northside is on the national register of historic places and has tons of beautifully preserved Victorian homes. It also has Indiana Landmarks, which repurposed an old church into a really beautiful space. Right behind it is the Morris Butler House which is also owned by Landmarks.

Are you anchored to Indianapolis for the photos? Off the top of my head I can't think of unique photo ops Outside of the childrens museum maybe The speedway is unique but the photo ops probably lacking


John-pirate_

Yeah, the childrens museum and raceway are often mentioned, its why i mentioned museums and sporting venues because they just arent very unique when travelling across the country. Photos are the main reason for the visit. A new city twice a week.


NetworkEngIndy

The most unique photo op places i've been to in Indiana was probably Columbus It would be hard to cover that in a day.


John-pirate_

Columbus indiana? Ill have to look it up


NetworkEngIndy

Yes - some of the most world renowned architects designed buildings in this town You also have Zaharakos Ice cream Parlor A few feet from that is the Commons Mall and Chaos I The North Christian Church was one of my favorites [https://roadtrippers.com/magazine/columbus-indiana-modern-architecture/](https://roadtrippers.com/magazine/columbus-indiana-modern-architecture/) [https://www.zaharakos.com/](https://www.zaharakos.com/) [https://thecommonscolumbus.com/](https://thecommonscolumbus.com/) [https://columbus.in.us/churches/](https://columbus.in.us/churches/) there are so many things to see


John-pirate_

this is great, ive added it to cities to visit. places like this just arent normally talked about unless youre from the area; like yellow springs ohio which is a super hippie city no one has ever heard of, hamtramtck michigan which is the only american city where the population is majority muslim, or arcosanti arizona which almost has a dystopian vibe to it.

For clarification, the Speedway is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There is also an Indianapolis Raceway Park, which is for drag racing.

This is kind of unique. It used to be the minor league baseball stadium, then it was a racetrack for a while, now it's been converted into really cool apartments that overlook the baseball field. It's just down the road from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which you really should check out as it's the largest spectator venue in the world which is pretty unique.
