We Weren't Prepared For This... Exploring Gary Indiana's Abandoned Dorie Miller Projects

  • With a total of 50 apartment buildings within, the Dorie Miller Projects in Gary Indiana were home to hundreds of families. With the growing violence in the community and dwindling population many neighborhoods became obsolete. The city is pushing for a hard reset for many of these neighborhoods, and that means demolishing them completely. Our visit to the homes ended with a discovery, followed by a tense moment I won't soon forget. Let's just say we're lucky we made it out of there.

    I explore the various abandoned and decrepit buildings and locations that pepper the world. These places are remnants of the past, and I enjoy documenting them for all to see before they succumb to man or Mother Nature. Join me as I enter the belly of the beast and show you what these abandoned buildings have to offer on the inside. Happy Hunting and I wish everyone safe explorations :)
    NEVER VANDALIZE, NEVER STEAL, NEVER BREAK 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!

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.

    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.

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.
