Feeling down about Indianapolis? Need a reminder of why you live in this frequently amazing city that's seen a culture of urban innovation quietly gather steam?

You should watch this video tweeted out today by Eli Lilly & Co. -- and shared seemingly everywhere -- in which five local activists talk about why the world should be jealous of us Indy residents!

"Indianapolis: Circle City Rebirth" is actually a year old, but the always-on-it Movoto.com real estate blog picked it up and posted it last week, giving it new life.

Here's a thought: Should the Indiana tourism folks hire the video's maker, Dusty Frey, to do something with its much-mocked "Honest-to-Goodness Indiana" slogan? Because based on this video, he might just make us love it!
