Indianapolis Then and Now®

What a wonderful book. The then and now pictures are great comparisons. I liked all the old pictures and remembered many of the old places. I visited James Whitcomb Riley's home as a fourth grader in 1947 and remember the old picture of the house as I saw it then. I have seen it recently and love the now picture.I remember the Monon Railroad than ran near my eastside home and the new trail looks like a great place for a walk or a bike ride. The pictures of downtown are amazing. I recommend this book to anyone who knows Indianapolis or wants to know Indianapolis. Juanita Payne Indianapolis Then and Now (Then & Now)

Side by side format of old pictures with the new. My husband saw this at a bookstore during Christmas break, and I made a mental note to order it for his birthday. The RCA/Hoosier Dome/whatever it's called now has a modern color picture side by side with what used to be on the site. The whole book is set up like this: old picture/what it looks like today.We love Nelson Price, the author, who used to be with the local paper, The Indianapolis Star. If you like local history with pictures, this is a great gift book. I think I'll order it for my school beause my 4th grade studies Indiana history.

Fantastic book! Love the old pictures of Indy! They need to do an updated version!

This is a gift for my brother and his wife, and I've enjoyed looking at it first. We all grew up In Indianapolis back in the '40's and '50's. Now in our 70's, we have fun remembering (or not!) through photos and text.

Gift for hubs.

I grew up in Indianapolis. My 84 year old dad moved here from Kentucky when he was 13. I got this book for his Father's Day gift. He loved it. He can't stop talking about it.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my brother and he loves it.

This is a nice overview of the City. However, I know of a few other spectacular monuments that were not mentioned and it is a little outdated. Still, it's a good looking book with nice photos.
