Took me forever to figure out what you used for background music. Isn't it from the game plague? I swear I've heard it lol
It's from the RUclips Audio Library,,, Hard saying
Wow! A lot has changed since I graduated from Roosevelt. It's pretty sad!
I bet so!!! The place was a real eye-opener. I'm from Grant county... Quite a ways south and in the corn fields. It was hard to believe I was in the same state I live in... Crazy.
Thanks for watching!!
@@SavageTraveling Why the hell do you tubers, who don't live in the area feel the need to highlight the bad. Is it because finding good takes more work? 🤔
The good isn't interesting. Gary is unique in its current state. Whats wrong with showcasing that? Are you embarrassed for the city or state of indiana?
Good Stuff !!!
Great video.👍✌
That’s incredible
The place blew me away!
Good show zach .... real interesting... they left for good..
They sure did!
Reminds me of Chester PA-
It’s probably worse. People come from all over the whole area including Illinois just to dump bodies in the abandoned buildings
Wow. Never knew it was that bad. Crazy
Yeah it was wild! Didn't know what to expect
Instead of Gary,we should call this place moon 🌚 landing from Mars Camden. Nj flint Michigan. And Chester pa from the same place to😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Great place for a moon shot landscape 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
There was a LOT of money in Gary back in the day. Busy city. It's a shame what has happened there. My birthplace. Dad retired from the steel mill. Still home to me.
It looks like it was a pretty great place. Wish i could have seen it in its time
@ 1:20 is the elementary school the Jackson's went to and from this point you were literally one block away from the Jacksons home where they grew up.
The house was on my list to get some footage of but I drove right out of town and forgot. I'm going to go back in the summer hopefully for another round of exploring
@@SavageTraveling I liked the fact that you just didn't drive up and down Broadway and and a couple streets east and west of Broadway that like most people do. You're actually driving through the neighborhoods that really shows the sad state of what was a vibrant city.
Used to live on 5th and Van Buren in Gary for 5 years in the 2000s, definitely was in a bad neighborhood but walking around everywhere you went through the worst of the worst in America, some blocks can have 3 foot grass on every lawn with a whole block of boarded up buildings in the deepest part of Gary, barely anybody goes to the worst of the worst spots except to sell drugs, dump bodies or for homeless to squat. In the 2000s, the population dipped from 100k to 80k in a decade, so I was there during one of the worst periods for the city
Good to hear from someone who lived it! Thanks for watching!!
Like other Rust Belt cities, Gary's once thriving steel industry has been significantly affected by the disappearance of local manufacturing jobs since the 1970s. As a result of this economic shift, the city's population has decreased drastically, having lost 61% of its population since 1960.
I drive a truck out of and through Gary and I feel safer there than in Chicago. Believe it or not, there are some nice areas in Gary.
I really thought the place wasn't so bad. It's so abandoned that I never felt like I was in any danger.
Morningside subdivision in Glen Park West, across from where Lew Wallace High was, is in the National Historic Register. Amazing homes. Many neighborhoods are still intact, indeed.
I'm there every week and I feel safe , can't say the sand about south side of Chicago. Exploring Gary I almost never see anyone buy animals that got left behind.
wheres the prostitutes and crack heads?
My home sweet home is ruin the United state forgot them
my name is Gary
Hell yeah!
How about some milk and cookies 🍪 for the school kids 🧒 folks 😮
wow
It's so sad that these worst neighborhoods used to be the nicest neighborhoods. 😢
Michael Jackson was born here?
Yes. I had it on my list of places to see/video when I was there but became so caught up with riding around and seeing the abandoned buildings, I forgot to go see Michael's house... lol.
The house is well marked and is visited by people every day.
Poor Gary. I was raised here and this breaks my heart.
I have lived in Gary all my life. I'm offended that you picked the poorest neighborhoods without going to our nice areas. Also your comments were condescending. Be fair please.
Who goes to Gary to see something they can see anywhere else? Gary needs some help. That's a fact. People want to see what capitalism left behind. It's starts with the people of the community. My real life first time impressions aren't going to tarnish the cities image anymore than it already is.
@@SavageTraveling “...what capitalism left behind?” Take a look at Venezuela, North Korea, or any other Marxist/socialist/communist country. You will see conditions much worse than Gary, Indiana. What this video depicts are the result of politics, economic realities, and technological progress.
😂
@@frazzledude You left out civic pride.
@@SavageTraveling the government pocketing all of our tax dollars and not doing anything for the communities is the cause of this societal downfall. Shipping hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine instead of fixing up our worst neighborhoods. You travel through Gary, but people like me have grown up living there to see the real problems of America
So sad! Such a waste.
Yep
If i had to live there,i wouldn't..i would rather just move to SEA and live in Vietnam.
Vietnam sounds good 👍
You made a pretty good representation of gary ,with your video.
Thanks!
Not shown in this video but my mother and her siblings went to school at Horace Mann. I was born in Gary in '61 and there is no way I'm going there even if things have calmed down some. I've been told that in Gary you're advised even by the police to keep moving if you come to stop sign or red light and no one else is around.
Cool to hear old stories about the place! Looks like it was a nice place some years ago.
@@SavageTraveling This is a Gary story that seems to have been lost in history: my mother (graudated Horace Mann in 1950) told about how when schools in Gary were going to become racially integrated Frank Sinatra came to town and spoke to the students about how they would have to learn to be together in school. My mother said there used to be "bump days" when black students would intentionally bump white students in the hall. I also recall my mother talking about how the cheerleaders from a primarily or entirely black school were so good that everyone from both schools at a ballgame would love their performance, that it would start soft and then get louder and louder. I alo remember being told about the sportsmanship of that time and place: that there wasn't the heckling and insults and that when someone made a great play on the field or court everyone applauded excellence.
My mother was born in '32, grew up in Gary, and could remember how there was a junk man who would go up and down what may have been the length of the town and how black citizens had to be off the streets at sundown. One might not think of that kind of segregation and racism so far north but it existed. I took classes at Indiana University in Bloomington and even in such a liberal/left-leaning place there was segregtion. Until 1959 in the Indiana Memorial Union Building there was seating for white and seating for blacks. A building in Bloomington, maybe a restaurant, had portraits of I.U. football players. The famous I.U. football player Georeg Taliaferro who was from Gary was not allowed into the building to see his own portrait because he was black.
I'm near Elwood. I've heard many stories come out of there about sundown towns and all that nastiness. Gary sounds like a great place back then. Seems like there was hope at one point.
It's better now ❤️
