Another tough Saturday getting to Shapiro’s Deli

 

This will be another tough Saturday morning getting to Shapiro’s Deli for the BMW breakfast gathering.

The Monumental Marathon starts at Capital Ave. and W. Maryland St. at 8:00 AM. The route goes south to E. McCarty St. then east to Delaware St. and back north. So the only way to get to Shapiro’s will be from the south on Meridian St. Note, the route will close both the McCarty St. and Illinois St. exit ramps off of I-70.

To complicate things even more, the Donald is coming back to our fair city today for a rally at Southport High School on the south side. He’s spending the night at the J.W. Marriott, shutting down the roads in the area of West St., Washington St and Maryland St.

IRMA Event – The Final Finish Line

June 24, 2018   2:00 pm    

The Crown Hill event is a go at 2:00 PM, Sunday June 24.   Indianapolis, Indiana 

IRMA and Crown Hill Cemetery will dedicate the Final Finish Line this Sunday at 2:00 PM near the IRMA Crown Hill historic marker.  This event will feature Doug Boles placing the final four bricks, with the name of each founder engraved, into the yard of bricks while Doug Hardwick plays the bagpipes.  It will also feature the Marmon Wasp from the IMS Museum, the Boyle Hauler and the Maserati replica, and Dr. Dicks’ Parnelli Jones car replica.  Finally, we will have the oldest surviving pace car, a 1914 Packard owned by Carl Fisher, the 1915 pace car, be the first to cross the Final Finish Line.  This will be a great day for IRMA and another milestone for our efforts.  

Please plan on joining us.

Kind regards,
