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.
