So this is the thread that finally gets me to subscribe. I knew it would happen eventually, but I never thought it would be a pit thread, but whatever. Aeschines, WTF are you talking about? Beaters for sale are lining Meridian St.? Meridian St is the “Pride of Indianapolis” ™ ? How do you figure? I’ve never thought Meridian St. was all that great, especially south of 46th St. And the houses along Washington Blvd. (not Washington St.) are nicer, IMO, than the houses on Meridian. I’ve lived in Indy for a long time and I haven’t noticed any recent increase in cars parked in yards with handwritten For Sale signs, nor have I ever thought that Meridian is the “pride of Indianapolis.” I can’t imagine anyone would ever have looked at the 2500 block of Meridian in the past 50 years and thought that it was something the city should be proud of. Lame. ---

> [@Giraffe](#): > > On the plus side, I heard that the city council of Gary, Indiana is considering passing a bill to send the bulk of its funds for urban renewal down to Indianapolis. “They need it way more than we do,” one of the members was quoted as saying. “Have you seen that place? Man, what a shithole.” Trouble, oh we got trouble, Right here in Indianapolis! With a capital “T” That rhymes with “C” And that stands for Cars! Sorry, every time I hear of Gary, Indiana I think of the Music Man. ---

> [@Aeschines](#): > > I guess I’m not communicating effectively. I guess you guys are so used to grime and shit hanging down everywhere, smoke in your face and well drinks down your throat (FUCKIN’ DRUNK DRIVERS ran over an AN ANT, well who gives a FUCK?), that you don’t see how this city is being FUCKIN’ TRASHED?! Meridian Street used to be the pride of the whole goddamn city, but now there are beaters everywhere (subject of the OP, DUH!), crumbling old mansions with old ladies staring out the windows with nothing in their eye sockets, goddamn “gentlemen’s clubs” in the 2500 block (EQUALS = WHORES), and do you know how many people were shot here over the weekend? Like 6, mutherfuckers! Is this fuckin’ DODGE CITY, with all the lawlessness of that city? Will Monument Circle be the OK Corrall? > > The falcons may pick a worm, but it is all your fault if this city falls down like Babel. Ahh, you need to have these meltdowns more often, Aeschines. There’s nothing funnier than watching you foam at the mouth. ---

Buddhism is “either a debased folk religion (= worthless) or…a faux fashion religion for people with too much time on their hands”? Vegetarianism is “mainstream faux bullshit”? Interesting. By the way, what exactly would “faux bullshit” be? Something genuine, perhaps? As for this thread, i’ve always been under the impression that the presence of junked cars in every front yard would be considered beautification or urban renewal in Indianapolis. 🙂 ---

We seem to be glossing over the little bit where **Aeschines** truly shows his hand. From the OP: > [@](#): > > You and your whole family sit out on your lawn all day to sell at most $50 worth of garbage. You know you could work a minimum wage job to make that much money, don’t you? The “whole family”, huh? Clearly these minimum wage job non-havers breed like rabbits. Maybe **Aeschines** is suggesting some sort of enforced birth control? Eugenics programs? Now I wouldn’t want to Godwinize the thread so I won’t compare you to Hitler, even though he too was a New Age iconoclast who hated yard sales. ---
