wow, this brings me back to my grandmother telling me stories of how she spent weekends in Gary shopping and running around town. Its sad that such a beautifull city went down hill, and is now nothing but gangs and delapating buildings. what the fuck is wrong with people???

In response to the personal email I received from some racist guy - you really should try living in the century (era) in which you are living in - racism simply went out of style a very long time ago.

@flicka329 'n' word?

You mean nigger?

Just calling a spade a spade.

Same thing is happening to Kankakee Illinois.

The TRUE disgrace is to have you posting such disrespectful comments(did one of you actually mention an "N" word signifying racism against African-Amercian citizens? Man, where have you been and what century are you living in? How are they SUPPOSED to have jobs when THERE'S NO PLACES TO GET ONE and retailers STOP BUILDING THERE? MAN, WAKE UP - it all STARTS with the MAN IN THE MIRROR (if you REALLY WANT CHANGE) - YOU DISGUST ME - your talk will NOT STAND THE LIGHT OF DAY at the end of the day

my entire family is from gary (at least after they came to this country). it's a shame most of the steel mills left. working people of ALL ethnicities left and lazy, theiving, gang banging niggers took over. every time i drive down broadway or 5th avenue i wish i could have grown up in the 50s and 60s when gary was in it's prime. the only reason to go there now is for the railcats lol.

I lived in Gary from 1953 to 1965. It is sad what the people of Gary have done to such a beautiful place. Blocks and blocks of beautiful homes are now abandoned. My friends and I used to ride our bikes down town. We lived not far from Tri City Plaza. We used to walk through the woods to get to the plaza from our house. In the summer my friends and I would sleep all night in a tree house we built from scapped wood. Those were great times in Gary.

This is a thing of the past. The monkeys took over in the late 60's with the cities first ape mayor. How many times do we have to relive this mistake of letting the spooks be in charge of anything. Everything they touch turns into shit. Look at Detroit, another gorrilla infested city. All they do is complain, steal and accept welfare with no intensions of working for anything
