A Quick Ad Hominem Attack On The City Of Indianapolis

In the interest of stoking the embers, I’m passing this piece along from Will Leitch.

↵↵Your attempts to revitalize your downtown are proving ineffective at overcoming years of urban decay; your shifting attitude toward daylight savings makes it impossible to figure out what the hell time it ever is; your hastily constructed skyscrapers are so flimsy they can’t stand up to wind; the Central Canal that runs through your city is a glorified stream; you’re responsible for the hypocritical, exploitative monster that is the NCAA; you built a monorail, for cripes sake; your primary cultural moment was being where everybody lived on “One Day at a Time”; it is physically impossible to get a bite to eat in your town after 8:30 p.m.; and the only thing visiting teams’ players say about your town is that it has unusually lawless strip clubs. Oh, and nobody cares about the Indy 500 anymore.

↵↵Sorry, Indianapolis residents. Don’t get too down on yourselves. The interstate highways that run through your city offer a remarkably smooth ride. And did I mention your beltway? Fantastic!
