big time

At the end of this warm and beautiful day, the colonel invited folk over for barbecue (he got a new smoker). Dogs, kids and folks gathered, and we chatted and ate.

And somebody else brought over a copy of the April edition of Indianapolis Monthly (not put on their on-line site yet) that lists the Townlet as one of 10 outstanding neighborhoods that you've never heard about.

Over a year ago, one of the neighbors across the street made the cover of Better Homes and Garden magazine for their nifty recreation of their kitchen. A couple of years ago, the weekly Nuvo listed a home in the townlet as one Indy's architectural hidden treasures.

This feeds our smugness at living in a little village paradise in the middle of the city.
