Enjoy! I was born in Indy and love the people there. They put the LA-LA landers to shame in every category.
My dad used to go to the race every year through the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s and then one year he didn't go and they had it anyway. ;o) My tradition out here is to play hooky from church and watch the race on TV.
I was born and raised in Cincinnati and we used to pop over to Indiana for the melons. Indiana grows the best sugar melons (Cantaloupe to most folks).
Ahhh...what a Summertime treat.
