And only 200 miles away from me; how soon we forget. But many, even some who live there, call it "India-noplace" :-))))) It's really quite a nice city. Back in the mid-1940s when I was collecting maps of cities, some of the puffery included with the Indy map claimed it was the largest state capital located on a non-navigable river. Maybe true then, but not any more, I'm sure Denver, Phoenix and perhaps Austin are now larger :-))) French would stress the final syllable, wouldn't it? stevo </HTML>
