 <http://www.carmel.in.gov/index.aspx> Carmel, Indiana, CNN Money Magazine's
No 1 Place to Live in America (2012), has transformed itself from a sleepy
suburban edge city of Indianapolis to a fast-growing, economically-thriving
vibrant city that is no longer simply a place to sleep at night.  Carmel
citizens are highly educated and value Carmel's excellent schools, low
taxes, and safe neighborhoods. It is a coveted place to live with distinct
areas and architecture. A progressive city government has adopted a
new-urbanism approach to planning-attracting a younger population starting
out in their careers and a seasoned citizenry who are looking for
empty-nester living. The City's approach to walkability has made Carmel one
of the most bike-friendly communities in Indiana. You can live, work, shop,
and enjoy a high quality of life without a car. Signature attractions
include the Carmel Arts and Design District (galleries, restaurants, and
shops); the Center for the Performing Arts under the artistic direction of
Michael Feinstein, and home for his Great American Songbook Foundation; and
the Monon Community Center-an outdoor nature and water park. For more
