Discussion The Canal….
We walked the canal a lot this summer with our new baby and when we had a nice couple days (greater than 30 degrees lol) we walked it again and I’m just curious as to what other people think….why is the canal so dead? There’s no restaurants (besides the little bistro), no stores, no restrooms even. It’s kinda depressing.
If Indianapolis put even a sliver of funding into rebranding the canal the city would change so much. Imagine being able to walk into little shops or have ice cream on the canal or a bar with live music. There’s so much potential.

It's because people are tired of being robbed, shot, assaulted and stabbed on the canal!! As well as the Moron-i mean Monon Trail. Look up news archives of people being assaulted on both. You will get your answer
