Indianapolis Museum of Art will present its first ever automobile exhibition just in time for the 99th running of the Indianapolis 500! Don’t miss out on seeing “Dream Cars: Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas” which will feature more than 15 concept cars ranging from the 1930s to the 21st century. The companies represented in the exhibit will include General Motors, Bugatti, Chrysler and Alfa Romeo.

Not that anyone should need more motivation than just living in Indy, but here’s plenty of great reasons to come Downtown for IndyStar/Pacers’ block party October 29th. There will be free stuff for the first 1,000 people to show, jams from the hype cover band Endless Summer, some inside sports talk with the pros, chances to win prizes, as well as the opportunity to hangout with Boomer (the Pacer’s mascot), eat good food, grab some Cupcakes on wheel, watch the Pacemates perform, and of course check out the Pacer’s season opener!
