Secret Indianapolis: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure
Where in Indianapolis can you find a disappearing painting, a towering "ice tree," or a giant pink elephant holding a martini?

You'll find the answers to these questions, and many others, in this guide to Indy's overlooked, offbeat, and unknown.
