Indianapolis
Invited to a wedding in Indy in September. A few friends have made off the cuff remarks that there's nothing to see there. Should I only go Friday - Sunday or is it worth it to take a couple days off and see it?

Just got back from Indianapolis yesterday. The art museum is excellent. It's adjacent to the Lilly home and gardens. They're worth seeing too.
For a good beer and a meal, try the Rathskellar:

Downtown Indy is nice and clean, very easy to walk around. The Mass. Ave area is nice (where Rathskeller is)..fun to see the little boutiques, have a beer and some dinner. Rathskeller has a nice beer garden for after dinner. Scholar's Inn is a good place to eat (pricey like Elements) - if you like Scottish food check-out McNiven's (laid-back).
Broadripple is full (I mean FULL) of bars/eateries. It is also a fun place to walk around/shop and get some food/drinks. I personally enjoy the food at Ambrosia, Corner Wine Bar, Bazbeaux. All great atmosphere and good food.
I'm not a big race fan, but it is worth seeing the Motor Speedway.
As for wineries, heading towards Bloomington/Indiana University is a beautiful drive. The Bloomington/Brown County area is very nice. Oliver Winery near Bloomington is a fun place to do some tasting, get some cheese/fruit and drink wine on their scenic property.
Of course, Indiana is NOT California, but it does have its charm.
I am tired, so sorry for any typos
