My trip to Indy!

My dad & I went to Indianapolis on the 1st & the 2nd of this month! I had a nice trip, of course all I saw was Gilligs, Phantoms & Low Floors. IndyGo is the largest transit agency in the great state of Indiana! With a fleet of around 140 buses ranging from 29-40 feet in length! They have about 40 Phantoms 97s & 98s & the rest of their buses are Low Floors from Gillig, also a handful of Optima Opus buses! We went to Circle Center Mall in downtown, nice mall, a Simon Mall of course, like most malls in the state! I like this mall since they have a Gameworks Studio on the top floor, this is a big arcade, I love arcades! On another note when growing up, I always went to Scottsdale Mall, located on the south side of South Bend, this mall was unfortunately torn down in 2004, to make way for an outdoor mall, called Erskine Village. Scottsdale was great, they had an Aladdin's Castle arcade & an Enzos' Pizza! What great memories! Anyway in Indy, we stayed at a Red Roof Inn, in the town of Speedway, located near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway of course! We stayed there for the night, ate at a White Castle, of course I had a stomach ache afterward! Then on the 2nd we went to the motor speedway museum & took a 10 minute shuttle bus ride around the track! Then we looked inside the museum, I sat inside of an Indy Car, almost didn't get out of it either! After we left there, I had my dad drive me downtown, to photograph some buses, of course some of the photos turned out kind of blurry! I took about 150 shots of various buses, on Ohio near Meridian & Illinois streets! After this, we headed back to the great city of South Bend, stopping @ A White Castle on US 31 in Kokomo, Indiana! If only South Bend or Mishawaka had a White Castle, life would be good, don't forget some Flxible Metros, too! After getting home, I later went out & rode the bus, with Tammy & Jason, both of which are good friends of mine! That concludes this post, I hope someone reads it!
