New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Seven views of the New Albany Riverfront Amphitheater's deteriorating observation deck.
Thanks to N for the photos. This strange structure, which looks somewhat like a coastal defense facility from the Spanish-American War, is dilapidated even by the standards of the amphitheater itself (apart from the new canary yellow roof dating to England III).
Will anything ever be done to improve and actually utilize the amphitheater? It seems highly unlikely in the sort term, and it's a huge waste of potential.

ReplyDeleteDoes Jeff Gahan have plaque envy?
ReplyDeleteFolks forget the canary yellow canopy was paid for by the Southern Indiana Convention and Visitor's Bureau…
ReplyDeleteafter the city promised it would be used for an on-going, annual series of summer concerts and riverside events.
Good point. And it wasn't cheap.
