There are many Homeless People that would Love having the privelage to stay there in one of them units during each season ! Winter , Spring, Summer and Fall ! It'll be very worthwhile looking out for the Homeless !
@Vane Moralez Where in the U.S. constitution does it say we need to provide housing for people ? You are correct we spend too much money on military bases all over the world, and we can't even protect our own us borders. Thousands of non U.S. citizens are coming across our border and we have no idea who they are.
@@rubencohen2936 I pray you never have to experience a hardship so bad that you have to run from your home. But you probably won’t. You seem like the type to let your whole family die on that hill
I grew up around there back in the 80's as a teen. I grew up in Marshall town which was a decent middle class neighborhood. Brings back so many memories.
Definitely bring a respirator when going into these places. There was black mold. If you guys were scared imagine how many families felt scared living in that hell hole. Great video.
Look how green the grass is that's some good soil out there .....when I was a kid there were fruit trees all over the city.....we would walk down the ally and just pick grapes hanging over people fences
Thank you for doing this great explore, you both had some real guts and found some archival gold of a place about to be demolished. That was a rash gamble but it payed off, what you unearthed in there was wild. The architecture of these housing projects remind me of the ones in Los Santos near Grove St in GTA San Andreas.
I can think of 100 places to explore than trespassing in an area where you are risking life and freedom. When you are young and dumb, you don't think you will ever die by the hands of another, and they are in Gary, IN
The people across the street from me shortly after I bought my home a couple years ago abandoned this little cat. I’ve been taking care of since I went to try to find him a home. I cannot have him because of my dogs but I feed him and watch over him and make warm shelters for him but all he really wants is a loving family to love him. I am actively searching for someone so I could keep in touch with them to see how he does. It breaks my heart even though he hears both my Pitbulls barking at the door and trying to get to him. He still goes to the top of the stairs and meows at them trying to get in. All creatures need love, but I feel like animals are our biggest gifts from God angels given to us for a time, and I believe there’s a special place in hell for the people that abuse and neglect them!
@@reubnick Shortly after I wrote that, we brought (HER we found out) inside and miraculously, she stays in my children's room and even though she hisses and is scared of my youngest Pittie he breaks in to try to play with her, as does our new Frenchie! They adore her. God is good, I could not allow her to suffer anymore. God is good, she is HOME!!!
A couple of young white guys are going in abandoned buildings in gary with thousands of dollars worth of equipment. What bad could possibly happen. Smh
Gary isn't nearly as dangerous as it once was in the 80s, 90s, & early 2000s. As long as you mind your business & don't bother anybody, you're good. I still have family on 5th Ave. & never had an issue! 🤷
The US army should take over this place and hold Urban Combat training and war games here. Bringing in all these military personnel in would surely give a great economic boost to the area and attract business to this area.
Yikes! (and that is a very mild word for what I was thinking). The scariest thing was exactly what you said at the end... you were out in the open with hundreds of windows looking out at you. Pretty intimidating, even before the resident (?) made an appearance. And the fact that all the buildings looked exactly alike doesn't help matters if you are trying to make an escape. Glad you guys were ok. Whew!
These guys are brave for going through an abandoned housing projects in Gary Indiana, this is definitely not place to visit especially going through some cracked out squater's place.
Stuff that was abandoned recently just sketches me out too much, the longer it's abandoned the less likely it seems that people are still gonna be around. That's like drug dealer paradise. That place is huge, so crazy that it will all be torn down, I can see why though; all that didn't just happen in the few months it's been abandoned. Good vid, be safe out there guys.
Definitely not a drug dealers paradise . No customers around. Maybe a Methamphetamine maker because no one around to smell the stinch of it cooking. They would absolutely sell somewhere else though
My heart was definitely racing. I can’t even imagine what was going on in your head when that guy came around just a minute after y’all got out. I’m so glad you’re ok and you listened to your gut. That was a very close call. Glad you’re safe! But that’s crazy that they would leave all that abandoned with utilities on. My city/state, which is Tulsa Oklahoma would NEVER lol 😂. My city would either bulldoze it to the ground same day or board it up and do everything they can to keep people from living in them and would never leave the utilities on at all. So that was interesting to see.
I hear gunshots almost everyday at my house, but that's just because we live outside the city limits, so shooting in your back yard is legal. So if we aren't outside shooting, someone in the area probably is, lol. It's odd how different places can be. There, gun shots mean violence & danger. Here, gunshots mean friends & family having an afternoon together & no danger at all.
When I was a paramedic in the 90s, we would not go to Dorie Miller even during the daytime without police. At the time I did not have a clue what "Dorie Miller" meant, but once I learned that he was a hero in Pearl Harbor, it disgusted me to think that his namesake was such a terrible place. He deserved so much better. The mail being from December 7 is ironic, given that it was the anniversary of Petty Officer Miller becoming a hero.
They are literally everywhere, Me personally, we have found an awful lot of camps without finding anyone. But then whenever there isn’t any camps we always run into homeless
@18:24 this really HURT my heart. At first sight you're confused because there's discolouration and it's not pixilated for you to identify what it is...to me, it just looked like a spot in the centre part of the room that's burnt or it looks like soot in the middle of the room. Yeah, that's how dumb I am because I didn't know what he was looking at even though he was saying there's a poor Cat in that room that was abandoned. But when you study the image @18:25, you see that the poor little cuddly dude has a furry white-beige chest and belly area and its little legs are the same light-beige colour, but its rest of the body is of a black fur...(like his head, ears, neck, and the predominant part of the little one's full body and whole back, is of a black fur colour. Man, that really hurt me to see this poor little guy left alone with no water or food and you could tell that he could've belonged to these people because they even abandoned his cage and everything. Wow. What terrible people! you know? It says a lot about people when you see how they treat animals with no kindness or love. You could tell how they are as people. 💔💔💔❤🩹
@@gerardomartinez3920 Ever since accidently rolling into Avondale in Cincinatti, being three white kids, wearing RED, I decided to forever avoid the ghetto hood areas
My husband and I live about a hour away from here. My husband will NOT even drive through Gary! So much is beyond dangerous senseless shootings and addictions!gary is the HOOD ‘heart,’ of Indiana!
Your husband is a wimp. I live 40 minutes from there. Gary is only trouble if you go looking for trouble. In fact I used to disconnect cable in these projects when I was younger
You took too many chances here. You should respect a squatter's space. People on drugs can be unpredictable. A place like that completely isolated with no one around is dangerous. I want to you to be around for more explores. You rock. Please be more careful and think things through.
Y'all were dumb af for this. Since you're not from the area, you don't know what type of danger you were really in. Being in that house and seeing that someone was probably living there should've been your que to IMMEDIATELY turn around and leave! Gary doesn't have the nickname Scary Gary for no reason. Be more careful please. I'm glad you're safe, but don't count on it being like that every time. There's plenty of abandoned buildings to hide you in after you're dead. And not just there!
Living in Indiana my whole life has taught me one thing, Gary is the one place in the state where no one should go. I’ve been through the ghettos of Indy proper and they’ve had nothing on Gary. You might get shot in the ghettos of Indy, you’ll just go missing in Gary because there’s so little there.
😂😂😂 you definitely know you've from Gary because that's sure how we pronounced it, lol. We lived in Marshall town and Glenn Park. I went to Roosevelt. I've been gone over 20 years, and I still have family there. Hopefully, I can come back and visit soon.
Those poor people who lived there. Hideous paint jobs and horrible little boxes to live in. No wonder they all went rogue, no one could cope with living on top of each other like that, no yard of their own. They all must've gone nuts.
I was checking out a middle school here a few weeks ago, right above me on the second floor I head footsteps, a ball bouncing then a crashing noise so I cut the trip short and split. Then someone else on a message board said she ran into a pit bull running around inside the same school, people are living in it I bet...
Was it this place? ruclips.net/video/2kknEEXMKFI/видео.html My buddy Rob made a video when we went there and found a dog. Skip to 5:13. Also looked like someone had been living there
So sad to see that someone abandoned their cat. I hope whoever lived in that unit is in a very bad place and in an extreme amount of mental and physical pain for whatever is left of their useless lives.
21:37 So if you had still been inside the adandonded appartment in an closed space you would be less nervious? I would be way more nervious. If you are out in the open and someone start shooting at least you can run, if they miss, less change they will miss in a small enclosed space.
@@Urbanfarmgirl_Kaija don't feel bad, that's what some want you to do is feel bad and move away because they definitely sitting back waiting for the right time to build everything back up, do you see all the white people that live here now? Those are the grand children of the white flight generation, and to top it off they live in areas I wouldn't live in, but it's all good nobody bothers them.
@@Urbanfarmgirl_Kaija I'm from the Glen Park area now called University Park, and we still have our home out there but you know IUN want to buy up all the houses so they can build a trauma hospital, so you know Gary won't look like this in the near future, people are not paying attention to what's happening around them in plain site, do you see the selling price for these houses? Whew!!!
fix these buildings up and ease the homeless crisis! Geez,care for your fellow man! All in all,good video,guys! Enjoyed watching,God bless and stay safe! RIP furbaby😭💔
@@mercy_angel8260 It takes a tremendous amount of natural resources to rebuild. The tenants will just trash the new buildings so they'll have to be demolished in 20 years or so.
Clean out the trash, get in there with some Pine-Sol and Clorox cleanup. Sling a lot of white semi gloss paint. Replace appliances and kitchen/bath fixtures only where necessary. Utilities are already on. Seems like the scrappers haven't gotten to the copper yet. Windows seem intact. A few other odds and ends and those units are habitable. Would certainly need a high security presence.
i have been in Gary,Indiana .when we lived in a town called La Porte , Indiana .My MOM ( rip ) work in one of this MILLS back in the day .. ...how is La Portre ,Indiana doing this days .. ??
More young drug addicts then you could ever believe. I used to live in Michigan City and worked in Laporte..I'm from Gary/ Hammond and I was shocked 😲 For some reason I always assumed things weren't like this out there but maaan was I wrong!!
@@aprilh9124 I'm not shocked about Laporte, I always knew, they just keep their criminal behavior on "the low" sort of speak, I was looking to move to Michigan City back in the 90's but all the apartments I looked at was small, so I didn't move out that way but I liked it out there.
I know it sucks, but I don’t understand why they didn’t just gentrify the area, rebuild these and rent them out at a higher rate to weed out the previous tenants and start bringing in a better profit to Gary.
Gary Indiana doesn’t have any money don’t get me wrong they still have nice areas but the bad out way the good hell all the schools are closed down they got charter schools now and the schools that are still open are crammed with kids from every area
The land is deeded for Low Income its in the HUD guidelines set in place for about 100 years . This area Belongs to Poor people and someone will be responsible to rebuild and put the next generation of poor people here is how it goes… The verbiage may be off but you can look it up to get a better understanding
@Carnacion Edmondson believe me, Gary is on it's way of being gentrified, I live here and see things changing, we even have a lot of the old residents great grands living here.
It’s insane seeing how these buildings looks newer too. Most of Gary is abandon and these buildings look fine I don’t understand why they are destroying stuff that doesn’t need to be. 219 Stay alive
Because its a terrible idea. Putting thay many people ina low income area? That is not a good idea since most people in low income areas have anti social traits. And antisocials dont really get along. Most of the gang members are antisocials and the leaders need to be. You put all that in close proximity and you get exactly what happened in this project
@@snez3538 its 50 years old but yeah, antisocials don't get along, poor role models, ineffective communication training. Watcha gonna do bad boys systemic chronic historic inequity
@@snez3538 No one wants that type of antisocial violent element in their neighborhoods either so where do we put all these people?? Low income housing is needed but how do we avoid the violent behavior that comes with it? Of course not all low income people are violent but it only takes a few to ruin it for everyone.
I grew up in crown point in which is 10 minutes down I65 and I never heard of these. We only went to Gary in the daylight , unless you were stupid 😆. No but seriously this is so interesting to see . Thanks
WHEN HATCHER TOOK OFFICE THATS WHEN EVERYTHING STARTED GOING DOWN HATCHER DID NOT CARE ABOUT THAT CITY HE JUST CARED ABOUT HIS SELF AND HIS SIMPLE AS THAT!

Cant even imagine the countless thousands of dollars this city is wasting leaving power, gas, and water running in these abandoned neighborhoods.
I wonder if government housing has ever been worth it. It seems all government housing does is build ghettos crime districts.

Then someone else on a message board said she ran into a pit bull running around inside the same school, people are living in it I bet...
Was it this place?

My buddy Rob made a video when we went there and found a dog. Skip to 5:13. Also looked like someone had been living there
@@lordexplores no, this was at the Pulaski/Dunbar
My old middle school, Beckman.
So sad to see that someone abandoned their cat. I hope whoever lived in that unit is in a very bad place and in an extreme amount of mental and physical pain for whatever is left of their useless lives.
I agree, how could someone do that to their pet, its like you wouldn't do that to a kid. Why get a pet if your going to just leave them.
21:37 So if you had still been inside the adandonded appartment in an closed space you would be less nervious? I would be way more nervious. If you are out in the open and someone start shooting at least you can run, if they miss, less change they will miss in a small enclosed space.
My city 219 sad to see it go down hill like this but i love my city Gary#
I hate these documentaries. I makes me feel like my choice to still be in Gary is bad.
@@Urbanfarmgirl_Kaija don't feel bad, that's what some want you to do is feel bad and move away because they definitely sitting back waiting for the right time to build everything back up, do you see all the white people that live here now? Those are the grand children of the white flight generation, and to top it off they live in areas I wouldn't live in, but it's all good nobody bothers them.
@@Urbanfarmgirl_Kaija I'm from the Glen Park area now called University Park, and we still have our home out there but you know IUN want to buy up all the houses so they can build a trauma hospital, so you know Gary won't look like this in the near future, people are not paying attention to what's happening around them in plain site, do you see the selling price for these houses? Whew!!!
Wowwww I never seen it so peaceful. Memories
whaaat?? when did this happen? Thanks for posting this! It's a bitter sweet feeling for sure.
There are people who lost their homes from Covid that could e living here.
I think this is also the place full of lead paint and lead water lines. Another reason they abandoned it.
The project houses are nice af lol. Way more spacious than even some the most expensive apts I’ve lived in.
Poor Kitty 😢💔🐾
can't deal with the cat....goddamn. what kind of monster would do that
Hurts to think about
Jerks could've let the cat outside so it could find food & water. Pure evil...
Agreed like you don't just leave it in the fucking house that's crazy
Be careful guys. Consider having someone stay by your vehicle so it does not get jacked. Be safe.
Awesome Explore sketch for sure!!
I remember when I was kid walking through those projects. I had family living there over the years.
1993
@@angelasdavisormoxley582 yea I was walking through in 93!
Hell, I won't go to the bathroom without a piece, you guys are helpless if shit goes south and you're naked.
"i dont go to the bathroom without my gun" damn man. reading this is sad. like people actually live this way. crazy.
It’s sad the world is so unsafe that people HAVE TO live this way.
@jordan B
fix these buildings up and ease the homeless crisis! Geez,care for your fellow man!
All in all,good video,guys! Enjoyed watching,God bless and stay safe!
RIP furbaby😭💔
Easy to say that but the city doesn’t have the funds to do it
rebuild. fixing is too expensive and its better to rebuild.
@@mercy_angel8260 It takes a tremendous amount of natural resources to rebuild. The tenants will just trash the new buildings so they'll have to be demolished in 20 years or so.
It's Capitalism... if it doesn't make dollars, it doesn't make sense. It's a fucked up system designed for the rich. Resistance is crucial.
Clean out the trash, get in there with some Pine-Sol and Clorox cleanup. Sling a lot of white semi gloss paint. Replace appliances and kitchen/bath fixtures only where necessary. Utilities are already on. Seems like the scrappers haven't gotten to the copper yet. Windows seem intact. A few other odds and ends and those units are habitable. Would certainly need a high security presence.
This reminds me of my old projects right before they finally got everybody out of it. It’s fucking insane.
@13:04 someone(not either of you) saying, yep!
It was faint too like damn
Awe that’s so sad how that city is going abandoned
Nice green grass
Remarkably clean I must say.
Commercial floor tiles throughout, even in the bedrooms. Good for easy maintenance, as opposed to carpets.
Cities don't build 'Projects'.... They build 'Housing Apartments' for people with low incomes...People create 'Projects'...
Politicians build projects when they fund the money and drugs to low income homes that they help build
@@vontepluto803 yes indeed.
@@vontepluto803just the money, the drugs part is just part of their culture
@@vontepluto803more excuses.
14:02 Dude Get out of there!! Someone could be coming back anytime.
And why are there so many places like this abandoned when there is a homeless crisis in this country.
That was entertaining... very, nice video! Be safe
i have been in Gary,Indiana .when we lived in a town called La Porte , Indiana .My MOM ( rip ) work in one of this MILLS back in the day .. ...how is La Portre ,Indiana doing this days .. ??
Laporte, In. Junior drug house,no good jobs more money made by the complex than any factories.
More young drug addicts then you could ever believe. I used to live in Michigan City and worked in Laporte..I'm from Gary/ Hammond and I was shocked 😲 For some reason I always assumed things weren't like this out there but maaan was I wrong!!
@@aprilh9124 I'm not shocked about Laporte, I always knew, they just keep their criminal behavior on "the low" sort of speak, I was looking to move to Michigan City back in the 90's but all the apartments I looked at was small, so I didn't move out that way but I liked it out there.
@@marisutton7676 and yes ALL of the apartments are small
I know it sucks, but I don’t understand why they didn’t just gentrify the area, rebuild these and rent them out at a higher rate to weed out the previous tenants and start bringing in a better profit to Gary.
You really think middle class white people are going to move into Gary?
Gary Indiana doesn’t have any money don’t get me wrong they still have nice areas but the bad out way the good hell all the schools are closed down they got charter schools now and the schools that are still open are crammed with kids from every area
The land is deeded for Low Income its in the HUD guidelines set in place for about 100 years . This area Belongs to Poor people and someone will be responsible to rebuild and put the next generation of poor people here is how it goes… The verbiage may be off but you can look it up to get a better understanding
I don’t think Gary even has a Walmart in its city limits, or most big box stores
@Carnacion Edmondson believe me, Gary is on it's way of being gentrified, I live here and see things changing, we even have a lot of the old residents great grands living here.
That was Cray-Cray!😳
Very interesting
My aunt used to live there....wild
My city hopeless but I still love my city
It would be funny if Alisha Mann actually commented on this video lol
It’s insane seeing how these buildings looks newer too. Most of Gary is abandon and these buildings look fine I don’t understand why they are destroying stuff that doesn’t need to be. 219 Stay alive
Because its a terrible idea. Putting thay many people ina low income area? That is not a good idea since most people in low income areas have anti social traits. And antisocials dont really get along. Most of the gang members are antisocials and the leaders need to be. You put all that in close proximity and you get exactly what happened in this project
@@snez3538 its 50 years old but yeah, antisocials don't get along, poor role models, ineffective communication training. Watcha gonna do bad boys systemic chronic historic inequity
@@snez3538 No one wants that type of antisocial violent element in their neighborhoods either so where do we put all these people?? Low income housing is needed but how do we avoid the violent behavior that comes with it? Of course not all low income people are violent but it only takes a few to ruin it for everyone.
I was surprised that the electric and gas are still on!!! That's crazy 😯
great video
I grew up in crown point in which is 10 minutes down I65 and I never heard of these. We only went to Gary in the daylight , unless you were stupid 😆. No but seriously this is so interesting to see . Thanks
I'm from Miami these projects are huge
They wont be replaced
Y’all should carry a weapon with y’all at all time
The funny thing my family owns a lot of those buildings and trying to get it passed by the city to rebuild some of the neighborhoods
Now, comeback at night and do a video… you’re going to witness “ Thriller”😂😂
How many people are missing in those buildings
1727 was my auntie place and behind it was my Grandma place. ❤️💯. That little seen brings back Sooooo many memories.
Scene
That looks like SAC housing. If you're ever in maine DM me. Loring AFB will blow your mind
What about maine? I'm a lifetime mainer and this video fascinated me
WHEN HATCHER TOOK OFFICE THATS WHEN EVERYTHING STARTED GOING DOWN HATCHER DID NOT CARE ABOUT THAT CITY HE JUST CARED ABOUT HIS SELF AND HIS SIMPLE AS THAT!
What's in the backpacks yall whare? Camping equipment, sleeping bags?
