What James Horn loves about Broad Ripple...

Hidden Treasures

The greater Broad Ripple area is my favorite part of town. To me, I see a different paradigm in the ripple. There are many hidden treasures to be found amongst the hustle and bustle of cars and crowds.

With a few bucks in my pockets and my bag on my shoulder, I am ready to make Broad Ripple an all-day adventure.

I am a local artist, and in my line of work I take inspiration where I can get it. I give Broad Ripple four stars for keeping me inspired.

The Broad Ripple

In the city of perpetual evolution-

In the circle-

Of inner-city pollution

Sun breaks the darkness-

And light shows the beauty within

Faded walls

The art peaks

As the artist speaks-

Of tribal lines, and mystic farewells

Sun up to sun set

The constant change of a place-

With rich history and old mystery

The artistic crunch of a city

For the love of art and beauty-

A time to be visionary and contemporary-

A time to preserve the existing-

The apparent constant-

For the love of community

We try to respect the evolving-times

So many beautiful characters-

In a story of change

A place where time seems-

To rearrange under

Brilliant blue highlights

In a city and a town I love respectfully.
