I'm a little skeptical when Starbucks says it is closing an old, small location on Monument Circle for safety reasons but the big, brand-new location two blocks away at Capitol and Washington is just fine.
The Monument Circle Starbucks in Downtown Indy is closing October 28. The reason? The company says “safety concerns.”

Indianapolis bike/pedestrian safety advocates having a 7-minute moment of silence for the 7 cyclists, by @BikeIndpls count, who’ve been killed by motorists in the city since July. This candlelight vigil is in honor of #WorldRemembranceDay.

This week's #MappaMonday answers a question no one was asking: "What would Indy look like in the style of a full-fledged 1800s city map?" My latest project draws on building outline data and some fun #cartography tricks to digitally replicate old hand-drawn techniques. #gischat
