I really want to know the language of where Valets are allowed to park cars, because directly on the Cultural Trail doesn’t seem like a permitted place.
Valet parked cars directly on the Cultural Trail on Washington street in Downtown Indy.

Historical Marker Ahead @historicalmarker.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Here’s what this portion of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and this historical marker for the late pioneering African-American attorney Harriette Bailey Conn look like when there are no idiots parking on the trail meant for walking, cycling and definitely not cars. indyculturaltrail.org/map/
Historical marker in Indianapolis. It reads:

Harriette Bailey Conn
1922-1981

Trailblazing African American lawyer and Indianapolis native Harriette Bailey Conn graduated from Crispus Attucks High School in 1937. After graduating from Indiana University’s Law School in 1955, she became a Deputy Attorney General for the State of Indiana. She later served as an Indianapolis Assistant City Attorney and advised the city’s Human Rights Commission.

Elected to the Indiana House of Representatives in 1966 and 1968, Conn championed personal and civil liberties and housing reform. She also worked for criminal justice reform and in 1970 she became the first African American and first woman appointed Public Defender of Indiana. The public defender’s office expanded dramatically under her resolute leadership.
 
Erected 2021 by Indiana Historical Bureau, the University of Indianapolis, Indiana Humanities, Dr. Laura Merrifield Wilson, and Karlee Taylor.

Had to check out the Cultural Trail at Capitol - it's been torn up but navigable, I ride it all the time. Suddenly, now a dead end with no detour signs, which dumps a main trail in the city into the middle of a major intersection with no explanation of what to do. And somebody already died for it.

White River Trail crossing at 16th Street - tiny, unprotected island amidst 4 full-speed lanes, trail not even marked in the westbound lanes. If there's a worse trail crossing in the city, I'd love to hear about it. @indydpw.bsky.social, any plans here before someone gets killed or maimed?

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Happy “someone crashed into the building at 16th/Delaware” day to all who celebrate. It only comes 5-6 times a year
The brick building at 16th and Delaware which just finished getting fixed after the last crash maybe a month ago. It is missing bricks and there is car debris laying around like glass, body panels, and a tire. There is a single cone on the sidewalk
