I've been commenting on the relative merits of various bars and restaurants in Indy for so long and at such great length that a number of folks told me I need to become a food & dining critic. Being easily suggestible and not able to recognize sarcasm when I hear it, I have developed this little journal of adventure drinking & eating in Indy, primarily on the South Side. So if you're bored, enjoy!

Windows on the World: The End of a Tradition
Windows On the World is a little eatery that I never got the opportunity to visit, and ten years ago today it ceased to exist. At that same time, 2,977 other people also never got to eat and drink there, or anywhere else ever again. Just as the one episode of Band of Brothers that deals with the Holocaust is titled Why We Fight, so should the tragedy of Windows on the World's demise remind us what the Global War on Terror (GWOT) is all about. I know there is some controversy as to whether Operation Iraqi Freedom is rightfully part of GWOT or not, but I do know a goodly portion of the young men and women who joined the armed forces right after 9/11/01 did so with the aim of achieving just what was accomplished a little while ago when the evil (or misguided, or crazy, or whatever adjective similar to evil you want to use) Osama Bin Laden was killed. And to state the obvious, the GWOT ain't over, folks. I'll take my soapbox and go home, now....
