City, you are not doing Indy justice.....sounds like flyover 'tude.
For thirty years, Indy has worked its butt off to become a sports capital. It has been sponsoring major sporting events for nearly 20 years...........big ones.......like the Pan Am games. It has worked overtime to make DT Indy the success it is today. Its a DT that was successful enough to snag a Nordstorm's only to lose it.
Here's a very abbreviated version of what the city has done to get to where it is.......a successful host of Superbowl 46:

Having said that, I agree with you..........LA needs to start diversifying away from the Industry. At one time, films was just part of LA's economic growth engine.........in fact, its major raison d'etre was as a manufacturing center......along with defense, shipping and tourism.....and in small letters, the industry. But in the last 20 years, its lost most of its manufacturing and defense industries, and is much more dependent on shipping, tourism and Hollywood. Something needs to take the place of the lost manufacturing. After all, LA is the second largest metro in the country.
