Just to think i used to spend my summers there in Gary in the 70's until 1984 when my auntie was raped and murdered in Gary to this day i haven't stepped foot in Gary Indiana in 34 years
Uncle Ruckus The thing is no one was caught the case is still open after 34 years so i don't know why you brought race into it because they don't kmow what race the killer was as far as we know my mom just closure she's very sick shr has CPOD she just want to know who killed her only sister
Since 1960 Gary has lost approximately 100,000 thousand people Its been like a creeping paralysis There's little left for the remaining residents There's a historic abandoned church downtown with trees growing through it The city was built on the steel industry ,when it collapsed the city was spiraling downward and here we are Sad for the richest strongest country on the planet There's plenty more blue collar rust belt cities that's been decimated by the policies of our country The loss of these jobs and way of life is catastrophic for our country Gary Indiana is an example of where we're at presently I don't know what the future holds for the American people but Gary is in a sad state
That's a lie. I moved from ATL to Autagua county and Alabama is soooooo rural and ass backwards it's not even funny. Their is LITTLE infrastructure here.I'm leaving this place this summer.
Chil, that's a good idea. You should never live somewhere you hate. Our loss will be Atlanta's gain. Just hope you don't carjacked while you're trying to get some gas in Adamsville or similar high infrastructure neighborhoods.
Melvin Hughes trust me it will sweetie just a matter of time... believe it or not its people in high places that have invested in the city and for sure have investments tide up in the city,there are businesses built from the ground up nestled up in and around some parts of Gary why do you think that baseball park was built.🙂
BinauralMind - Experimental, Relaxing Music it's not. They're just showing the bad parts. In fact, they're showing the east side. West side looks alot better here.
/ рщщмуы no it don't. Some of it looks like this. You from Hobart. Not from Gary! I'm from Gary and still here and it's many areas that look better than this out here. You just don't frequent them
TheCattledog2 lol get out of here with that political bs its loss of jobs the steel mills sir that drove the economy lol. To be honest conservatives all way mess the economy up per President Trump its on video!
Anyone who had ever seen historical documentaries on Gary, my birthplace would quickly come to see that it was one of the most dynamic blue color industrial cities in America. The Gary of today is merely a victim itself of changing economics geopolitically speaking, cheap still imports, from other countries destroyed the steal mills, and big ticket retail outlets destroyed the mom and pop shops. Gray was once a very beautiful safe place to live and rais a family.
I was born and raised in gary.. i lived in gary for over 20 years until i got married and moved away. My mother still lives on the east side of gary. I visit her from time to time. I remember in the late 70's going downtown with my mom to go shopping or to pay bills. It was a treat for me cuz afterwards we would stop and have lunch and sit down and talk and laugh. But not anymore. Dowtown aka broadway there isn't really anyplace to go. No stores.. no cafes... no movie theater no nothing.. gary will always be my hometown but sadly if it does reclaim its former glory i don't think i will live long enough to see it.
I wish I live there where tje Jackson 5 from. It moght be raggy biy bless. Or move out the in that case. I from small town to we have nothing here too.
Was raised In Gary and I can remember when Gary was a fun place to live and raise your kids. When the steel mills closed, Gary went to nothing but a ghost town pretty much it's sad to see my city so depressing.
I live 15 mins from here, crazy how town's can be so different. I don't even like to drive though and never after dark. I accidentally missed my train stop once after falling asleep and woke up and freaked out and jumped off the train in Gary. Moments after getting off the train a cop walked up to me and asked if I was lost
you got lucky it was a cop you met first the few police we do have on the streets are good cops its the thugs you have to worry about outside of miller is not a spot you want at night in gary
I'm from Gary and this saddens me. I see people trying to make their home nice and then to see runned down homes and streets next to it. It is partly the cities fault and partly the communities.There has to be a way to make it nice again.
I was born and raised in a town near Gary in. After they totally destroyed their schools and teachers left they started busing them to our city. The very first day of 7th grade two of their thugs decided to go along for the bus ride. I seen them rob a little girl of her purse at the front door and kicked her to the ground. The only thing she would of had in her purse was her lunch money. It cost 25 cents for lunch at that time. I left that forsaken place in 1990, never to return.
Lots of people get robbed bro... Stop letting one incident be an indictment of a whole group of people.. I'm from Gary and I can't stand a fucking thief !!!!
if the city would just pave the roads and cut the grass it would look so much better. it’s really not that bad . It just needs a lot of land scaping work
I do believe that is about the deepest shade of green grass that I've ever seen anywhere. I wonder if that is Emerald Zoysia grass or Bluegrass? The trees are not as tall as I expected.
I feel like I need to make a trip cross country one of these days. People talk big game about how America is great but whenever I go anywhere here in the Bay Area (one of the most affluent areas in the entire goddamned planet, economically) and see homeless camps and tent cities everywhere along with crumbling roads and then you go see this, it really doesn't do much for your pride in your nation or fellow humans
America is only great for the wealthy. I took a Greyhound/Megabus trip to Minnesota for a company meeting and the cities I saw are no diff from the Southeast ones. They all have both good and bad parts. All major city hoods look the same and South Chicago and Gary, IN were the absolute worst. Black people have faced obstacles but too many of us have resigned to not starting our own businesses and when white flight happens, we are left to dry. Poverty tends to bring the worst out of people on both sides.
I'm moving there in April. Houses are super cheap! Can't wait to go to the beaches. My only concern is High Speed internet and in your video I do not see any Starbucks.
I just hope you show the good side of this place too. repairs and maintenance are needed yes, but its not hopeless, state of indiana should put more attention before its totally damaged. it is still so beautiful , comparing it to the crowded cities and slum areas of so called developed cities. a little boost from the government , investments for sustainability and self sufficiency. best wishes for the people in these places.
I’m from Gary and even though it might seem like it’s nothing and a bad looking hood, the people I’ve grown up with are amazing and it was like we were all family
You just makin me homesick!! 😢 I cannot wait to be back home in GI in August. We may not have nice stuff but my neighbors there are the BEST I’ve ever had anywhere. Much love for bringing awareness to our reality.
Yes but this is kind of my point. Welcome to the richest country in the world, where only the Rich are looked after. That's why I made the comment because I find it astonishing. I remember hurricane Katrina, years and years after and the place was still a wreck.
This used to be a Fabulous small town. A southeast Chicago suburb really. The Jacksons, Blues musicain Albert King live there for a little while, actor Avery Brooks, singer Denise something ( can't remember the last name in the Wizard of Oz.) Mayor Hatchaer the first Black mayor of a US city. (People don't know this but AW. Willis would have been the second Black mayor of a major city, Memphis at that time if it wasn't for Memphis politics and the assination of MLK !!) Gary was major steel producer city but that industry has all but folded in America. The same tragedy that happen to Newark NJ kind of a suburb of NYC. Their demise came about the same time in the 70's along with Cleveland and Detroit. All these great cities have all but dissappeared from the glory they once had. I hope they rebound !!
Looks Like A Ghost Town In Certain Areas Damn.. I'm Praying For The ppl That's Making A Way In The City and I'm Praying For Gary, Indiana I hope They Rebuild It.
You're right most towns in America are like ghost towns I'm from here. I like it the silence and space it's relaxing dangerous but relaxing can't stand the crowds
Eslyne Filiciana It was built up because of business and jobs. It's fallen apart because of no business and no jobs. "Steel City" was created and destroyed.
This is what globalization has wrought. The whole Calumet Region was built around the steel industry. When that was shipped overseas it affected not just Gary but Hammond too, now just a shadow of what it once was. I think probably the unions deserve some blame for that. They priced themselves out of the market.
I thought that was a cross a around 20 seconds... every time I drive through Gary. Straight through the red lights I go. Day or night... just going to stay my white ass out🤣🤣🤣
This is sad. I live in Indiana and had no idea parts of Gary look like this. Didn’t realize so many city’s and towns across the United States look damn near the same. Abandoned
I spent some of my child hood in Gary from the late 80's- late 90's. Sad to see my Elementary School Spaulding 4:20 lookin like dat! I also went to Emerson Visual Performing arts which is rite next to Spaulding! I stayed on 7th Tennessee St. I still remember walking to school! Neva forget where u come from!
Since a lot of ppl down talking Gary I just wanna say u cant just go off what you see in this video. Gary like other places can be split into parts (good and bad). Whomever made this video only went to the bad neighborhoods (I live near where they were and they literally passed good areas up at least twice). It gives them credibility for their thoughts on Gary being "the hood" because no hood is gonna b seen as nice. Saying I'm born, raised, and still a resident may take away my credibility for some people because they think I just wanna defend where I leave but I'm not and I tbh think it gives me more. Ik Gary has a lot of bad roads and abandoned houses but as I type a lot are being either knocked down or fixed. Ever place has it's own beauty. P.s. Ik this video old just didn't care Now have a wonderful day😊😊😊
My dad used to live on Van Buren st. It was really bad. I didn't even know there was a decent part of Gary til like a year after he moved there. Used to hear gunshots out the window damn near every night.
The video only show the east side of Gary. an area where i grew up. I attended EA Spaulding School in the 90s. most of that area has really gone to waste. However you did'nt film the beautiful baseball stadium 3 BLOCKS AWAY. Gary can look like a 3rd world country from the outside looking but it also has many treasures that is rarely showcase
Don't knw wht the purpose of this drive was but I was born and raised in Gary and even though I no longer live there I still go home bcause I have family & friends there.. Please remember tht this city was built around the steel mills and rail roads so whn the jobs strtd drying up people strtd moving away and no one can blame thm everyone has to make a living to feed their families.. I will always have fond memories of my home town it once was a thriving city filld w/ people who took care of & loved ea other..PLEASE remember tht the Jackson's r not the only bright stars to come frm GI Deniece Williams, members of the group Next, Dick Barnett, Ernest Lee Thomas, Fred Williamson, William Marshall, Glenn Robinson, Brandon Moore, Frank Borman, Polly Draper, Karen Fairchild, Latroy Hawkins & Robert McDonald just to name a few were also born and bread there, although Avery Brooks was not born in GI he was raised there....i enjoyed dropping facts on y'all.. "Enjoy urself right now" in MJ voice Love & Light.
Gary reminds me of Jackson Mississippi .... Abandoned Houses,Fucked Up Roads,Poor Economy... People who live in Poverty,seem to like it, they never Leave....they are Afraid to Better Themselves...Sad... Thats all they know..
@@leeclincy9119 i know that's right, I'm not from where you are, but one thing I hate is when outsiders comment on places they're not from... They just judge a book by its cover people like that must be raised by wolves🤣🤣🤣😭
Maybe the citizens of this place need to invite that little bastard that sang 'Gary, Indiana,Gary, Indiana,' in the 'Music Man' to revitalize the fortunes of the town.
Contrary to popular opinion, Axl Rose wrote "Welcome to the Jungle" with Izzy Stradlin as they got sidetracked in Gary, IN on their way to Chicago from Lafayette.
Driven into Gary three times in the past few years. I remember driving by two houses where the serial killer left the dead bodies of women. One part that was kind of scary at night time (if one were to walk) was W 2nd Ave along the Grand Calumet River. In the middle of the night just go walk into one of the homes with no front door. I wouldn't do that by myself. A sign warns of unsafe waters and contact may be hazardous.
Actually William, yes there are areas in Gary that have very nice homes with manicured lawns.. They so just happen to be inhabited by black families which I'm guessing is a shock to you. He was on the east side near the steel mill in this video. I actually lived around the corner from the two schools he drove past and went to one of them as a kid. I am not saying Gary hasn't seen better days but the whole city does not look like that. The major decay in Gary is primarily on the main drag in downtown off Broadway. My parents live in a nice relatively quiet neighborhood. I bet you're not even from there... Most of the people that make that assumption about Gary are normally from other places.. That said, the hood in Gary is the HOOD ...LOL... But there are nice parts too-
I just got done writing a comment, and little bits and pieces of it made it through when I posted it here. What I originally said was that it looks like the city of Gary just gave up. They don't care anymore, and they don't care what other people think about it either.
A community is like a wallet you have to invest and put money in it. This is the result when the people only take take take, ME ME ME. GUCCI GUCCI GUCCI.
Wow this is unbelievable! No kids playing, r people walking their dog's.... And the condition of the street 😨 I'm CONFUSED the city officials are doing what to help this situation 😕☠⁉

Gary Indiana roads will destroy any vehicle. Raggedy roads. But on another note, did anyone else notice how beautiful green their grass is?
reformedinchrist
Weeds that are watered and mowed
reformedinchrist 🤣🤣🤣
Believe it or not it's the water....
reformedinchrist-You can find beauty in anything as long as you're looking for it.
Hector Hernandez Exactly. Gary Indiana is basically the suburbs of Chicago, so all cities in the north has that kind of grass.
Just to think i used to spend my summers there in Gary in the 70's until 1984 when my auntie was raped and murdered in Gary to this day i haven't stepped foot in Gary Indiana in 34 years

That is so sad, I am sorry about what happened to your aunt.
Byron Benguche' wow
Sorry to hear about your aunt man. You haven't missed anything Gary is a bigger and badder shithole than it was back then.

Looks like Detroit
Detroit maybe a bit worse.
Yeah it does looks like Detroit a lil but Detroit is way worst than Gary but especially the west and east side
Terrance: I think Detroit is the champion of urban decay.
g bridgman Right it is
Most Midwestern hoods have the same look--i.e. former middle-class neighborhoods from the 1950s-1970s decimated by loss of industry.
We have dirt roads in Alabama in way better shape than most of Gary's "paved" roads.
I agree. Might be red & muddy but they are smooth & slushy.
That's a lie. I moved from ATL to Autagua county and Alabama is soooooo rural and ass backwards it's not even funny. Their is LITTLE infrastructure here.I'm leaving this place this summer.
Chil, that's a good idea. You should never live somewhere you hate. Our loss will be Atlanta's gain. Just hope you don't carjacked while you're trying to get some gas in Adamsville or similar high infrastructure neighborhoods.
Looks depressing

I wish Gary could come back to life💀💀😢

It will. Now is the time to buy
Looks like a 3rd world city.
BinauralMind - Experimental, Relaxing Music it's not. They're just showing the bad parts. In fact, they're showing the east side. West side looks alot better here.

The desolation here is powerful.
beautiful spacious yards, looks like they are headed back to dirt roads though
I always laugh when I see the worst neighborhoods in this country with relatively nice cars on the streets. Priorities!
I’m gonna needs some Prozac after watching this
At 4:54 in, given the style and size of the houses that was probably one of the nicest residential streets in the city some 50 years ago...

You need a tank to go through those roads. It's just awful.

In these videos we don't see people on the streets while here im Brazil streets are full of people

Its crazy but thats home to me born and raised in Gary IN.
I drove through Gary on my way from from Chicago to Cleveland. Gary looks scary.......
There must be some way to rebuild this wonderful place.Can't someone do something?

It was built up because of business and jobs. It's fallen apart because of no business and no jobs. "Steel City" was created and destroyed.
Sempre fico ansiosa esperando por seus vídeos! Gosto muito. 👏🏻🙌🏻
My dad’s been working as a cop in Gary for 14 years now
GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY . . . THE WORLD NEEDS GOOD PEOPLE LIKE HIM . . . AND I RESPECT THE TOWN AND THE PEOPLE . . .

Even the wealthier towns are looking terrible real fast here in other parts of Indiana too
Pripyat or USA?
This is sad. I live in Indiana and had no idea parts of Gary look like this. Didn’t realize so many city’s and towns across the United States look damn near the same. Abandoned
Sad: This city was known for great businesses and companies now look at it. 😓
Once again, most of these neighborhoods look like they were very nice places to live say 50 or 60 years ago.
Those roads are not like this today in August 2021 as well as the many abandoned homes are demolished and hauled away. Gary! Make that change!
Some once lovely homes..I do not get the US..Is like a THIRD WORLD country..Know now why a friend of mine from near Gary is now in Alabama...
Oh you poor dear. Go visit Eastern Europe or Central America. Every inch of those countries look like this. This is one small slice of this country.
Best thing about Gary Indiana cops won't stop you on the street. Worst thing about Gary Indiana cops won't stop on the street.
Looks like The Last Of Us...but real.
So true.

Whomever made this video only went to the bad neighborhoods (I live near where they were and they literally passed good areas up at least twice). It gives them credibility for their thoughts on Gary being "the hood" because no hood is gonna b seen as nice. Saying I'm born, raised, and still a resident may take away my credibility for some people because they think I just wanna defend where I leave but I'm not and I tbh think it gives me more. Ik Gary has a lot of bad roads and abandoned houses but as I type a lot are being either knocked down or fixed. Ever place has it's own beauty.
P.s. Ik this video old just didn't care
Now have a wonderful day😊😊😊
My dad used to live on Van Buren st. It was really bad. I didn't even know there was a decent part of Gary til like a year after he moved there. Used to hear gunshots out the window damn near every night.
What beautiful homes there. Now abandoned. This is sad.
Looks just like my hometown west warren avenue detroit michigan
Gary and Detroit are one in the same
@@walrusmcgee Yes True.
My old home left in 1990 sad I even saw a boarded up dog house there before not joking either!!! So sad!
boarded up dog house? XDDDDDDD dead
I Love my city G.I. forever 219
My dad said Gary Indiana is the Armpit of America
Brian Glade it is, including Detroit and Camden
I explore in gary
This is what lynching looks like. A neighborhood that has been killed in so many I can't wrap my mind around it.
so sad. Gary will never be the same..
The video only show the east side of Gary. an area where i grew up. I attended EA Spaulding School in the 90s. most of that area has really gone to waste. However you did'nt film the beautiful baseball stadium 3 BLOCKS AWAY. Gary can look like a 3rd world country from the outside looking but it also has many treasures that is rarely showcase
Real people! Real struggle! That's how it is in Tha G"
Don't knw wht the purpose of this drive was but I was born and raised in Gary and even though I no longer live there I still go home bcause I have family & friends there.. Please remember tht this city was built around the steel mills and rail roads so whn the jobs strtd drying up people strtd moving away and no one can blame thm everyone has to make a living to feed their families.. I will always have fond memories of my home town it once was a thriving city filld w/ people who took care of & loved ea other..PLEASE remember tht the Jackson's r not the only bright stars to come frm GI Deniece Williams, members of the group Next, Dick Barnett, Ernest Lee Thomas, Fred Williamson, William Marshall, Glenn Robinson, Brandon Moore, Frank Borman, Polly Draper, Karen Fairchild, Latroy Hawkins & Robert McDonald just to name a few were also born and bread there, although Avery Brooks was not born in GI he was raised there....i enjoyed dropping facts on y'all.. "Enjoy urself right now" in MJ voice Love & Light.
Gary reminds me of Jackson Mississippi .... Abandoned Houses,Fucked Up Roads,Poor Economy... People who live in Poverty,seem to like it, they never Leave....they are Afraid to Better Themselves...Sad... Thats all they know..
spicy1ize your comment is very stupid
I live in Mississippi you don't know what you talking about we live better than most here
@@leeclincy9119 i know that's right, I'm not from where you are, but one thing I hate is when outsiders comment on places they're not from... They just judge a book by its cover people like that must be raised by wolves🤣🤣🤣😭
🖕
Sounds like he riding in a army tank 😂
Maybe the citizens of this place need to invite that little bastard that sang 'Gary, Indiana,Gary, Indiana,' in the 'Music Man' to revitalize the fortunes of the town.
Looked like you were close to the area where the Demon House once stood, but you turned off a different direction.
Contrary to popular opinion, Axl Rose wrote "Welcome to the Jungle" with Izzy Stradlin as they got sidetracked in Gary, IN on their way to Chicago from Lafayette.
Is very ugly , scary , the road is horrible, dirty I don’t wanna imagine at night without light in the street
Looked like this 15 years ago nothing changed...I lived out there for 6 months broke my lease and got the fuck out of dodge...
Driven into Gary three times in the past few years. I remember driving by two houses where the serial killer left the dead bodies of women. One part that was kind of scary at night time (if one were to walk) was W 2nd Ave along the Grand Calumet River. In the middle of the night just go walk into one of the homes with no front door. I wouldn't do that by myself. A sign warns of unsafe waters and contact may be hazardous.
Wonder what the demographics are for Gary? Let me guess... oh I see it now!!
Cameronm55 but I'm a product of my environment ....
Does that term also apply in the nice sections of Gary which are all black too; Or just this bad section he's in right now? Fucking moron-
Gabrielle McCullough- Hanks nice sections of Gary? I guess if you look at it a certain way. You have the really shitty areas and the shitty areas.
Actually William, yes there are areas in Gary that have very nice homes with manicured lawns.. They so just happen to be inhabited by black families which I'm guessing is a shock to you. He was on the east side near the steel mill in this video. I actually lived around the corner from the two schools he drove past and went to one of them as a kid. I am not saying Gary hasn't seen better days but the whole city does not look like that. The major decay in Gary is primarily on the main drag in downtown off Broadway. My parents live in a nice relatively quiet neighborhood. I bet you're not even from there... Most of the people that make that assumption about Gary are normally from other places..
That said, the hood in Gary is the HOOD ...LOL... But there are nice parts too-
Nice parts of Gary have bars on the windows.
Apparently downtown Gary was the shit 100 years ago
I just got done writing a comment, and little bits and pieces of it made it through when I posted it here. What I originally said was that it looks like the city of Gary just gave up. They don't care anymore, and they don't care what other people think about it either.
Damn they really don't put no money in them neighborhoods, those streets, wow
Straight trap house central
I wounder what made people leave Gary?
I know what my dream town to live in is, Gary here I com!
A community is like a wallet you have to invest and put money in it. This is the result when the people only take take take, ME ME ME. GUCCI GUCCI GUCCI.
when you live in gary, at least you know: it cant get worse.
It can always get worse.
I seen a guy get shot and killed on 5th ave. in Gary, right across from McDonalds. Just anther day, anther death. Hardly made the news..
Yesterdays dreams are today's vacant lots. Frank cullotta.
Wow this is unbelievable! No kids playing, r people walking their dog's.... And the condition of the street 😨 I'm CONFUSED the city officials are doing what to help this situation 😕☠⁉
Hardly any tax money coming in. Not safe to go outside.
