Anybody on here been to the NCAA Hall of Champions in Indy? My dad and I plan on hitting Indy before heading down to Bloomington on Friday, and I'm wondering if it would be worth visiting the NCAA museum?

If someone is very familiar with Indianapolis maybe you could answer a question for me. There is supposedly an abandoned (haunted) insane asylum somewhere on Meridian. That is some extra curricular activity I would love to check out!

OK, I did some searching and I wish I hadn't but if you are talking about The central state hospital <--thats the link to what it is now

If you are staying in Speedway make sure you visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway museum. Only $5 to get in and $5 more to take a ride around the track. ( in a bus but still pretty cool ):23:

Its not on Meridian, its west of downtown in a neighborhood you really dont want to go in.

It has been a few years ago but when I went I really enjoyed the experience. If you enjoy collegiate athletics I am sure you will find something of interest.

If you are going to Kokomo and then heading down to Lawrenceburg on Sunday, stop by Indiana Grand Casino in Shelbyville Indiana (I-74) stop and have some fun and eat at one of there restaurants for some good food.:)

In Indy - might want to check out the chow at Nick's Chili on Lafayette Road or at the Mug n Bun on west 10th street.

Anatolia (restaurantanatolia.com) in Bloomington is an excellent Turkish/mideastern restaurant. Excellent renditions of some of the usual fare and some really good things I haven't found anywhere in my travels. Glad to provide recommendations. I certainly plan to be there next Friday.
