I thought the LA Phil had me spoiled on almost any other orchestra, but ISO in the Hilbert never fails to amaze and move me. Catch a concert - almost always tickets available day before or even day of.

The heart of the city is this monument with the woman facing south, welcoming the soldiers home from the Civil War. A fixed compass, you can use her to know which way is south. The circle can be confusing, I look up at her daily.

Sightseeing

This building houses almost everything it takes to manage a city and a county. Ask the guards or at the information desk for the elevator that takes you to the very top. They have a little bit of a museum with history of Indianapolis on display, but the whole city is on display out the windows, 360 degrees. See the whole city in 5 minutes!
