Life was a lot slower and simpler in the fifties and sixties.
Written by Gary Wonning
Recently a friend of a friend mentioned that he didn’t enjoy going to Indianapolis because there wasn’t anything to do.
It was one of those times when I was at a loss for words.
Indianapolis is a beautiful city, especially downtown. It has been completely refurbished and there are many fine restaurants, bars, and entertainment in the downtown area is at a premium.
It is home to the Indianapolis Colts, Pacers, and it is a center for amateur sports, including high school basketball.
A triple AAA baseball team resides just a few short blocks away, and the world’s greatest spectacle in racing, the Indianapolis 500 is held annually with a museum that is open daily.
There are many parks and historic sites close by and the best of all, we are all Hoosiers, Hoosier hospitality runs abundant, everyone is a neighbor and friend.
Hoosiers are known for being friendlily to a fault, it is never a problem to engage in conversation with our fellow man , living in a small town, everyone we meet is considered family.
We don’t need to be entertained, or spend huge sums of money to fill our time.
I’m not sure what he meant by there not being anything to do in Indianapolis, I guess we just think differently in the Midwest than those on the east coast.
Indiana history
Growing up on a dairy farm in southeastern Indiana, Gary traveled very little until midlife, when the opportunity became available to him.
Grabbing his camera and a bag full of equipment, he began his vision quest traveling to most areas of the United States and several countries abroad.
Along the way he collected several thousand photographs that he wants to share with everyone.
Gary decided the best way to accomplish his goal was to publish photo documentaries on the various areas of the world he has visited.
What will follow will be several photography books, who knows how many will wind up in his collection.
