Does anyone know who the Sioux FC are? I've lived in Zionsville for my entire life and I have no idea who these people are. I believe that they are a fantasy soccer team, so I'm going to delete them from the article. If anyone has some real info (sources), I'll be happy to change it back. --Zaszamonde —Preceding comment was added at 17:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


I removed the link to zionsvillein.com, since it seems to just be an ad for a real estate firm. I realize that zionsville.com is a real estate firm as well, but they have useful information on their site (restaurant locations, store information, stuff that is interesting to the local populace). zionsvillein.com seems to be a cheaply made site with no useful information (for example, all the photos of subdivisions look like they were taken from the entrance, without actually entering them -- a little shady). Whoever keeps adding the link, please provide a good reason for it being up there. --Blazeix —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 14:27, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I live on main st. and see horses more often than you would think. But the horse-drawn vehicles are gone. I used to see them all the time a couple years ago but since traffic has gotton worse they stopped.

I've not seen any "coaches" around Zionsville except for the local sports teams. How often are horse-drawn vehicles really seen there? (added without signing by Dogface)

The following was moved to the Discussion page, where contentiousness like this belongs:

Zionsville has not been "intentionally groomed" to give off a "village air"... Zionsville's brick main street has always been brick, and the whole town turns out to help "re-pave" when the bricks wear down. The other brick streets in the town have been paved over. The houses in the village have not been recreated to give off a village air, either... many are nicely refurbished, but most are original homes dating from the mid / late 19th century. Zionsville has intentionally passed zoning and building ordinances specifically designed to keep growth down and, yes, to conform to a specific look or style. Those sorts of rules have helped keep Zionsville a small, relatively charming community, with thriving independent shops and storefronts, when other nearby, similarly-sized communities (Carmel, many years ago, as well as Fishers and Westfield) have fallen victim to urban sprawl, and are now filled with big-box stores, national chains, and cookie-cutter neighborhoods with cookie-cutter houses, not to mention over-crowded schools and traffic nightmares. Zionsville has striven to maintain an unique identity in a midwest fast becoming completely homogeneous, and its citizens are proud that it doesn't look and feel like everytown, USA.
