FUN.FUNCTIONAL.FUNKY

subculture

When studying Indianapolis’ northeastside in 2010, I took special notice of the street crusiers that travelled 38th st.

What if theses cars, already cruising 38th st, became an ad-hoc taxi system? What if the independent auto-detailing shops were strengthened and assisted in their urban art through community funds? And what if education, training and economic opportunity were in the mix?

what if this underground car culture was seen as a community asset?
