Well, that triple feature didn't start off so good but using the word "sprawlburbia" certainly headed off any claims of misrepresentation. The other two clips were quite nice. I'll admit that I sort of expected the Dandy Trail of today to average four or more lanes and have more McDonald's than trees. Much of it really looks pretty scenic.
SoundHound did include Grisman in its ID but I couldn't remember that when I posted so just went with Jerry. But you did manage to stump the 'Hound with the second of today's reels. He correctly (I hope) got Paul Simon & Robin Trower for the first and third reels. Only because it came came to me for absolutely no valid or even detectable reason, I'm going to toss out the name Leon Russel for reel #2. SoundHound is pretty impressive. I know it could pull off some serious cheating at some of the live trivia nights I've been to.

Jim,
Pretty roads!
I noticed in Part 5 that STOP in Indiana must mean "Slow down while you turn." We call that "Yield" in Washington, but I like the Indiana method better.

Yes, you've noticed Broad Ripple. It was indeed a little fairly self-contained village connected to Indianapolis by streetcar and the Westfield Road.
Isn't David Letterman a proud Broad Ripple High School alumnus?

Dave: Heh, looks like I immortalized a moving violation in video. 
MGA: Yes! The school is about a mile away from the little jig-jog I make upon entering Broad Ripple Village.

Ok, here are the last three videos from my tour.
Unfortunately, a part of the Dandy Trail has been "improved" to become part of the ramp system for I-465 at 56th St. on the east side. Fortunately, if you keep right you'll end up heading southbound on Shadeland Avenue and all will be well.

The Dandy Trail followed the National Road eastbound briefly, between Franklin and Post Roads. Back then it would have been a two-lane road, but today, wow.
Stick around until the very end of this one for a brief surprise that quickly passes by.
Denny: Does your sound app recognize this one?

Annnnnnnnnd finally......
Finally, the south side of Indy! This is more of what people think when they think Indiana: flat, cornfields. As this video comes to an end, I'm about to come to a "Y" intersection on Troy Rd. In the 1920s, Troy went straight here, but I-465 was built through here and Troy was looped awkwardly rather than just go over the highway. I decided not to record the loop.
