Honestly, if you're thinking of Center in Marion County, you probably don't get the usual tourist clichés in your mind right now – and that's good, because the real sights are more in your head than on a flyer. The city became the middle of the 19. Founded century, as a few brave settlers decided to build exactly in the geographic middle of the then County – therefore the name. I don't quite understand the hype about the historical plaques, but the old town hall, which today serves as a community center, has a charm you can't overlook when you accidentally walk past Main Street.
A short trip with the IndyGo bus (line 42 stops right around the corner) will take you to the nearby White River State Park, where you can sniff a bit of nature before you get back to the city. And yes, the car is still king: the connection to the I‐65 makes it easy to get out of Indianapolis and disappear again, without you being hovered in endless dams.
I have a faible for the small cafés that survive here – the “Bean & Brew” serves an espresso that is almost as strong as my opinion on the annual city festivals. And while most visitors are looking for the famous Marion County Courthouse, I find the quiet corners of the old cemetery much more fascinating; there you can feel the weight of history without a guide telling you every stone. So it was from my side – the real sights of Center are the people they live in, and the slightly sloping smile you get when you realize that you have discovered something really authentic here.
