Canal Walk by sambarnett
Based after the Paseo del Rio in San Antonio, TX, Indy's canal walk is a beautiful addition to the city that serves as a popular hang out/meeting place for residents and visitors alike. Started in 1984 to rennovate the stinky 1830s canal, the neatly groomed grounds feature museums, cafes, paddleboats, ducks and some funky looking apartment buildings. The canal walk leads all the way to the White River State park, just west of downtown.
