Out and about in Indy, Napolese and the Circle
The past week presented my new family with many opportunities to get out and about in Indianapolis. We had a great time enjoying some of the things that our hometown has to offer. We started Memorial Day weekend by visiting a new pizza joint in Midtown Indy called Napolese. An offshoot of the popular Cafe Patachou local chain, Napolese offers what they call "Artisanal Pizza".

Im here to tell you that whatever it is, it is pretty good. I enjoy almost any pizza from a store bought frozen pizza baked in the oven to deep dish Chicago style. I have to admit though, this was the first time I had enjoyed pizza of this nature. It was thin, of a not so round shape, but the ingredients were great! Good cheese and the pepperoni was sliced in thick, large pieces. We had the classic. Along with a Sun King Pale Ale, I could not have asked for much more out of the dining experience.

Last night, we took my son downtown for his first visit to Monument Circle. We wanted to get some good 2 month photos, and my wife had her D700 out taking some good photos. I managed to snap a few good ones with my D90 though. Enjoy the photos, we sure had a great time out enjoying the different spaces our fine city has to offer.

Oscar Maurice Ailes
It is my pleasure to introduce to you, my readers, to my son, Oscar Maurice Ailes, born April 2nd 2010. He is also the reason there has not been a new post here in over a week. He is doing well. Mom is doing well and I am doing well too, albeit a bit low on sleep. I should be back to posting at least somewhat normally now. I already have a new post in the works covering some historic Interurban lines that were recently unearthed. So stay tuned. Here are a couple photos of the new little guy, mom and his furry brothers!
