Merry Christmas!

Yup.  Well done.

"We accept food stamps" LOL! It's hand written on the facade.

I've always had a feeling Gary will be one of those cities that surprises us someday.  I know it's difficult for cities in the Southern shadow of Chicago to draw some strength but you never know.

I've been to Gary once, sad place

I need to try to find some interior images of this -- someone posted some on a forum that I frequent not long ago.

 

You just made my day with this.

America turns its' back on yet another town that helped to build it.  Just another little Dee-troit to most folks.  The disinvestment is horrendous.

Great photos, but its soooooo depressing!

Need more bulldozers - that one is gonna be working plenty hard.

Lovely city, so much opportunity for improvement!

 

I pass through there frequently on South Shore trains (which stop at the elevated platform across from the city hall), and I've been through there on Amtrak (which doesn't stop). I've often thought it might be interesting to explore but I've been a bit afraid. It doesn't look like there's anyone else around though.

Good grief.

County Courthouse

Merry Christmas!

 

Oops, I missed a county seat!

 

Probably not; it's probably a satellite courthouse of the one in the real county seat, Crown Point.

 

I've put some thought into "clinching" Gary, but I've been strongly warned against doing so because of its reputation.  From what I've seen online it looks very clean and safe around the Genesis Convention Center and the baseball stadium.  I've thought about taking Broadway/State Road 53 to get to downtown from I-90.  I'm uncertain as to how Broadway is closer to I-94.  I don't want to be a carjack victim!
