Egyptian Architecture in Indianapolis Pyramids

Driving through Northeastern Indianapolis, along Depauw Boulevard, near Michigan Road and 96th Street, three giant, glass structures loom dominantly in the landscape. Nestled neatly within a 200-acre commercial development in College Park, these pyramid-shaped buildings are home to approximately 45 acres of office space and situated on a 25-acre lake. As a prominent landmark of the state’s capital, The Pyramids offer world-class comforts and a plethora of opportunities for shopping, business, travel, lodging, and education. The Art Institute of Indianapolis is also located at the Pyramids. These reflections of a civilization long lost beneath the endless sands of the Sahara Desert stand to remind society of a great nation, rich in culture, that flourished along the banks of the Nile. But when and where did pyramids originate, and what significance did they play in the lives of the Egyptian people?

Breadsmith, Indianapolis

June 17, 2009 ( PowerHomeBiz.com ) - Indianapolis, IN - This summer, Central Indiana residents will be picnicking, barbequing, or grilling up hamburgers and hot dogs. To add to their enjoyment, they should try freshly made buns that are thick and soft – the perfect accompaniment to a hamburger or hot dog.

Breadsmith, Indianapolis appeals to the food purist. It appeals to the person who wants a plain or wheat filled bread, a dessert bread loaded with fresh fruits, or muffins, scones, rolls or buns that are freshly made just before the store opens. The customer wants a “true bread or bun” that it is made without any preservatives. When you read a Breadsmith label, you don’t need a degree in chemistry to understand the ingredients.
