Christopher B. says:
I do see a problem with a wealthy tax exempt entity, which has also received direct state and federal funds, using its resources to tear down a lovely historic building.
Over the years, the Museum has eaten up more and more of its surrounding neighborhood to build a fortified entertainment complex that caters primarily to suburbanites and tourists. There is so little left of the original neighborhood, and now the Museum wants to tear down one of the few remaining historic buildings in the area to build yet another parking lot? I say no! I hope that city tells the Museum to go shove it.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Thousands of people are expected in the city this weekend for the JAMFest Cheer Super Nationals.
It’s the 19th year Indy has hosted JAMFest, but the cheerleader competition will feel different this year during the coronavirus pandemic. Even before participants set foot inside, entrances are limited, and there are signs clearly stating “No mask. No entry.”
News 8 talked Friday with three cheerleaders who drove from Pennsylvania to be in Indianapolis this weekend for the cheerleading event. They are just a few of the 18,000 athletes expected in Indianapolis for the major competition.
One cheerleader said, “I’m just happy we can have a competition amongst the virus and everything. So, I’m really excited to compete tomorrow.”
Some of the museums require a reservation while others are using staggered entry.
