A Reuters reporter trying to convey something of Indianapolis is about a few decades behind the times:
With four Emmy Awards Allison Melangton knows how to produce a winning show, but making sure Indianapolis delivers a memorable Super Bowl party will require a blockbuster game plan.
Once known as "Naptown", Indianapolis hopes to shed its sleepy image when it host America's biggest sporting party on February 5, and as chief executive of the Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee it will be Melangton's vision that thousands of visitors and a worldwide TV audience will see.
"Shed its sleepy image"? Good lord. It managed that a loooong time ago. I visit there quite a bit and, honestly, Ange, there's more to do there on a Saturday night than go to the gas station for a bottle of pop or hang around the post office and watch them lick stamps. Of course, for the real fun, they have to go to Mt. Pilot, but, heck, that's just up the road a piece. Gonna be a trying time when all a them big city folks invade us for the Super Bowl. Ya'll behave, hear?
