Book excerpt: Roaring to life after a rather inauspicious start, Indianapolis became known as the "Crossroads of America" during the early 1900s. Mansions were built along North Meridian Street, industries employed thousands, and jazz music was played into the night. Price shows black-and-white images from the city's glorious past alongside eye-catching contemporary photographs of how the scene looks today. The result is a mixture of preservation and change in this historic city. -- adapted from jacket
