The Island residents continually saw deer every night. The Museum actually has had a very light print on this property, which is now open for a wide audience to enjoy in many ways. The Visitor Pavilion was built in the most environmentally sensitive way. And IMA has planted 3,000 native trees to introduce a variety of species increasing the Health of the entire White River watershed. Art and man’s use of this flood plain continues. And this Park gives standing to Indianapolis as a City worth visiting. If Joe learned more about the art installations I think he could appreciate them from a more positive perspective.

It’s there to be used, or else we wouldn’t have it.

Was it just too hard to NOT ####### with one of the few remaining untouched pieces of land in Marion County? To quote my old granny, ####### ALL Y’ALL!!!
