this is the coolest pic of madison ever

***i_am_hydrogen*** · October 3rd, 2007, 02:17 AM

Nice shots of Madison. There were some jaw-dropping aerials from the Outback Blimp during the Badgers football game. The place looks dense as hell. I've only been back once since I moved five years ago; I need to get back and explore.

I love Madisons height limits, it gives alot of character to its downtown.

Pilliod Njaim · October 3rd, 2007, 06:41 AM

Oh God I love Madison. What an urban paradise. It's so damn pedestrian-friendly compared to most of the Midwest. I think Madison and Ann Arbor are two of the best college towns the world over.

Unionstation13 · October 3rd, 2007, 06:45 PM

Indy would looked alot like that if we had kept our height limits damnit!
I agree, I'v only been to Madison once, and I was mad that I dident bring my bike.

You want towers and heght, and then complain you didn't keep the height limit. YEESH. Make of your mind.

Outside of Dyersville, Iowa

I took it off of Wikipedia. "Field of Dreams" is on AMC right now, which is why I'm posting this.

ColDayMan · October 8th, 2007, 04:59 AM

I'm glad they kept the site.

***xzmattzx*** · October 8th, 2007, 05:32 AM

Same here. It makes sense that they did, they probably make some decent tourist money. I'm sure nearby Dyersville is glad the field is still there, so that they have tourists stopping in their little town.

One day I want to drive out there and see that field. I also want to see that countryside that they drove past throughout the movie.

***i_am_hydrogen*** · October 8th, 2007, 04:40 PM

^I had the chance to visit years ago. It was pretty cool.

Some INDY shots

Late 1960's

Similar shot over 35 years later showing amazing growth.

I still love this aerial shot.

Indywatch · October 9th, 2007, 07:18 PM

Some more Indy shots from Indy Development blog

Density heading north up Meridian St.

Nice shot from the airport.

From the east side looking west.

Another nice aerial.

Already put these pics on the Missouri pics thread, but think that small towns deserve to be shown as well.

Harrisonville, MO. 30 miles south of KC.

Here's one I came across of Omaha. I like the Downtown and eastern Midtown Skylines combined.
