Thought it might be time to start throwing this trip out there to see who we can meet up with. Going to be in Indianapolis overnight on Sept 7th, heading to Tennessee. We'll be in town early and hope to meet up with Lu and Didit for dinner and anybody else who's interested. No specifics yet.
 
Dueck's, what kind of dinner are you wanting, fast food, drive in with great tenderloins, sit down resteraunt, steak house, gimme a hint!


Didit
 
That's just over 4 1/2 hours for us from Windsor. So we may have to make a weekend of it!!!

What kind of trouble can we get into in Indy on a weekend?? Any suggestions for things to do??

Ray Skillman, a LARGE auto dealer in Indianapolis has a BEAUTIFUL collection of classic cars. We had a GTG there a couple of years ago, free admission and you can spend a few hours looking around....not open on Sunday.

We'll be driving in from Wisconsin Dells on Saturday, so we should be in early, noonish??
 
I just realized this is only one week after BratFest IX...

Not sure work will give me a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card two weekends in a row.
Put us down as a maybe and we"ll know better as we get closer.

Didit

We'ld prefer not to eat fast food, steaks are good. I'm severely allergic to Chinese or Japenese!!   :9:    >:D

All three of these are located on the south side of town!

If you know what time you will be available Sat, its possible we could do Skillmans car museum, its in the same direction, lol.  The German American Klub is open till 9 so optimum time for dinner would be 4-7 I would think.

Didit
 
We're thinking we'll be in between 1-3. We're waiting to hear back from Desirehrdwd about breakfast near Chicago.
 
We reserved a room at the Baymont on Southport Rd and I65. It's only a month away.

The last time that we were there is was not well marked. It is behind a Ray Skillman new car dealership. We parked inside of a high chain link fence at the north end and went in through their garage. You can see them working on classic cars somedays........
 
I'm sure if I snoop around long enough, they'll tell me where to go. 
 
That's my experience, but then they usually tell me to go somewhere that I really don't want to visit!  :laugh:

Any better idea of what time we are going to meet at Ray Skillman's? Who is on the list for sure?
 
At this point we're still planning to be in Indianapolis between 1-2 pm on Saturday. I don't see that changing.
 
Sounds good, we can meet at:

2PM then!  see 'ya there.
 
Dueck this is a heads up on a interstate closing in Indianapolis. The main split between north and south side is closed and will be for a couple of months. Not sure how your GPS will tell you to go but you need to take I-465 around the city and not try to go through town!

Here is a link to the story and it has links with maps in the story:

See you Saturday around 2PM.
