The black great migrations into Northern cities that nearly destroyed many and have killed one major city (Detroit) pretty much bypassed Indianapolis by many decades ago. I was amazed at one time how Indianapolis remained a large so much of a white city for so many years. Now that may be changing as the minority population of Indianapolis has been growing and a black migration to this city has been underway for some time. Many poor inner-city blacks from Chicago and Gary have made the trek down to Indianapolis in recent years. Indianapolis has been hit by crime and some well publicized shootings in their downtown that have old time residents of this metropolis on edge. The Ghettoization of this state capital city is proceeding at an alarming rate. City leaders and the local police force has no idea how to deal with this problem and the summers of Indianapolis will only get much worse before it gets better. Indianapolis is about to fall pretty bad in the coming years and that is a dam shame as someone who enjoyed visiting the city and finding another urban oasis away from Chicago.
