that’s craaazzyy 😩 . just looking at his childhood home & realizing he was once inside there . like you’re actually standing outside his old house 😭 like omg
Paul Edwards I'm from Gary too. I never visited his house unfortunately. I'm from Memphis,TN also and used to stay around the corner from Graceland. We would pass it at least two times a week.
Michael was born as the population was booming in Gary, the city that had the highest percentage of african-americans, he was the embodiment and epitome of black culture and music
HE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE STUPID IDIOT THE JACKSONS HOME WAS THE HOME OF NINE CHILDREN THEY ALL WERE CONCEIVED,RAISED AND BECAME A MUSICAL FAMILY.SO IT WASN'T JUST MIKES HOME
Micheal Use to hang out with the ghetto kids When he lived in Gary He use to have a girlfriend but he dumped her in Gary after he became famous He came from a very dangerous Place gary
I remember when that house was brick red with no fence, no iron gate before it was made a landmark to the Jacksons. My big brothers and many other youth use to play basketball on the courts at Roosevelt High School across the alley and behind Jackson street.
I was born and raised on Chicago’s southside,and we’ve always considered Gary to be a Chicago suburb(It’s only 15 minutes away from my house)… And for those who don’t know, a lot of talent has came out of Gary,not just the Jackson’s!
I visited that little house on September 28, 2012 after touring the Motown Museum in Detroit from my home in Snellville GA.. Along with an older brother, I only saw two ladies and a little girl during my approximately 30 minutes visit.
inside is cute we got a glimse on Latoya's life aww MJ said they all shared 1 bathroom and had to line up to use it lol in his 2003 homecoming video on youtube.
This is the best video I've seen on RUclips of fans visiting the home.. I felt like I was there with you.. I plan on visiting soon. Thanks for posting!!
Reminds me of the 2 bdrm. home we bought when my 1at husband & I were married. I loved that house. Thank you for sharing & thank you to The Jackson's for sharing their music with the world.
Michael invited me to come join him during his last visit in 2003 to 2300 Jackson Street, but I didn't have a great car to drive 3 hours there and back to Toledo Ohio. I wish I had now. But hopefully one day I will be able to see where he began his life and career at.
I went there back in 1998 and his cousin was outside and we talked for a hour. Wasn't no fence at that time. I still have the pictures. Also the school they went to is right around the corner. Roosevelt.
Its funny I have lived in Michigan City (around 30 miles from gary) my whole life and today (5/29/18) was the first time I went and saw MJ's old house.
i only live 3 hours away from gary, and i hope this summer i can go visit the home and go to the jackson's concert! Ive been such a big fan of Michael and his brothers since 2nd grade, and i look up to Michael a ton. I'm so blessed to be this closeee!
Growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s I admit I was never crazy about MJ. Always remember seeing him on commercials , movies and concerts on PBS. It's amazing after he passed and Whitney Houston and even Prince. I know listen to all of their music now being in my late thirties I have such an appreciation for all of the 80s and 90s icons that I grew up around that are no longer with us like Luther Vandross and many other. I am truly proud of growing up with so many great entertainers
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT". If i had not seen it on this film, I would not had believed it. Michael is still there, in Gary Indiana hanging around his childhood house. Atleast he was then, and not moping around either. Walking like a natural man. Then he turned to the left; toward. I think the back of the house..🥰😇💝
Good u showed that, bring back memorys when I was working in Hammond indiana at the steel mill in the late 90s some lady invited me to come to her wedding reception in Gary Indiana, so me and some of the co workers went anyway we were coming down 5th avenue took a left on the street were she was holding the reception some how we got lost with another wrong turn came up on jackson avenue so as were driving up we come up on a house on 23rd and jackson that same stop sign u just showed in the video, I look to my left and it done on me 2300 jackson Street just my thought process kick in immediately that's mike home what I said to earl and Dre we were all in a daze as we were driving around it, wasnt even looking for it just happen that night of Nov 14 of 99" didn't have a gate around it at the time just teddy bears" so that is great u showed that.
MY FAMILY LIVED NEXT DOOR TO THE JACKSONS I WAS MJ BABYSITTER'WE KNEW THEN THAT MICHAEL &HIS SUBLINGS WERE VERY TALENTED!!ONE OF MY BROTHERS LIVES IN CALIFORNIA NOW WE MISS YOU MJ!!!
I live in Gary and last year while I took a year off of my regular job I worked part time delivering meals for Meals on Wheels. 1 of the routes i covered was on the block of this house. I have had a connection with Gary my whole life and never got to see the house. Well while i had this opportunity I jumped on it and since then i have gone by there at least once a month. I wasnt a big Michael fan as I was Janet, and she and i about the same age. So thats why i enjoy going there, and yes the people in the neighborhood are very nice.
Went in 2010, the back yard looked nothing like this. The most surprising part for me was, there a few cinder blocks stacked along the back. I remembered the scene in the movie. That made me laugh and cry. There was a light post were the Tombstone looking thing is of Michael, that had been signed by fans too. The house next door was not fixed up that I recall, at least not like this. There was not gate in the back for both properties to have adjourning driveways. A neighbor told us the shutters had bn added in recent yrs and that the gate was not always there. Ppl sat on their porch and watched the handful of ppl that were there besides us. They've done alot w the landscape since my visit. I will always regret not taking pictures but then again I think it would have lessened the experience. We live life now thru the cameras of our phones instead of in the moment. Glad I saw a little more true to it's original state.
I can't stop thinking that this was the house that he was abused in all the pain suffering where his father wouldn't let him call him daddy or always abusing him in the outdoors he was like a happy little child but when it came to being an indoors it was so bad he probably had multiple bruises and scars. Long live the king of Pop love you man.
I was born and raised in Gary. I do not live in Gary anymore but I always wanted to stop by Michael Jackson's house. I will do this next time I am in Gary now that I know the address. Thanks for the video.
I'm so depressed over Michael... what a hold his spirit has on me! If I had lot's of money, I would buy the one house here in Vegas, my husband will be getting a law suit but not nearly enough for that house. Maybe a few million but that house, wow, in the Millions ! Love you always Michael RIP sweet one ~ X
I am a huge fan of the Jackson Family especially my main man Michael (MJ) Jackson and let’s not forget Janet Jackson I truly love them so on this day 10/07/2020 I traveled from Illinois where I’m from doing a little Uber pickups so to make the long story short I decided that I wasn’t leaving Gary Indiana without dropping by 2300 hundred Jackson to see where they’ve gotten their start in life at I just want to say job well done to my favorite family with much love from Pamela J Brials and to Michael Jackson continue to Rest In Peace😘🥰😍🥰😍😘
I think the Jackson's should buy up those abandoned buildings and rebuild Gary that would be wonderful to see with a mentoring program at Roosevelt to give other kids hope
Tiny house. I wonder how they all were able to fit in there. I really like the landscaping. They may have bought the house next door, so that an eyesore wouldn't be directly in view when facing the house.
I’ve been there twice when I lived in Indianapolis. Crime there is horrible. There’s also nothing there. So the city can’t thrive. The high school the older siblings went too is behind them. Amazing how they raised all those children in a one bedroom home.
They use the second house and it has big photo under those shades of Michael and mother together and one of him. Then U see like memabila inside the windows. I had tourist from Norway and places like that ask me which house was the original home. I think Michael like Joseph wanted it to stay Original because they would remember where they came from.
I’m a truck driver & stopped for the wknd @ the nearby truck stop & remembered that there was someone famous that grew up nearby! 😂 I googled the address & I found out that I was about 5 miles away! 😂 I dropped my trailer & rolled by in my semi that morning! I knew better next time & went by during the day the next time so that I could get better pics
This is sad that Micheal,Joseph and now Tito Jackson are now up in Glory it's iconic and a blessing to see the accomplishments that Jacksons made through the years and i love all of them❤🙏👑😇🕊
They use both houses. Things about Michael is in the second house. In fact when I was there, somebody from the Netherlands asked me which house was which. I was there for all the changes of those houses. The second house had two beautiful large photos of him and his mother together. I was sitting on the porch before the remodel when people could freely visit. looks like now they took some things down especially after Janet Joseph and Randy visited it. I think while that lovely town is empty the Jacksons should take the whole thing back even down to the steel mill. I appreciate the share. 2300 and Gary Indiana it self is always historical home. Yes the people there are gorgeous. I told them they all are stars now. including that famous spot.
I KNEW THE JACKSON FAMILY PERSONALLY SINCE WE WERE JEHOVAH WITNESS AND ATTENDING THE SAME ASSEMBLY AS THE JACKSON FAMILY. WE LIVED IN EAST CHICAGO, INDIANA AT THE TIME ABOUT 12 MILES FROM THEIR HOUSE. FIRST TIME I SAW MJ ACTUALLY SING 🎤 ON STAGE HE WAS 7 YEARS OLD. I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE BIG SOME DAY. LAST TIME I SAW THE JACKSON FAMILY IS WHEN MJ WAS 11. AS THE SAYING GOES, THE REST IS HISTORY. THEY MOVED TO CALIFORNIA BUT THEY NEVER FORGOT WHERE THEY CAME FROM. SWEET FAMILY
My sons AAU basketball team was there 2 weeks after MJ died we were able to walk and touch the house, went back the very next day and the front yard was full of teddy bears. And there was already bootleg tee shirts being sold. One thing I noticed is the garage was tore down. The good thing is we have pictures!
I live about twenty minutes outside of Gary and as a Northwest Indiana resident I can say that Gary is a place of no return. My parents would kill me if I went due to the extreme number of shootings that have occurred as of late. However, when the Jackson's grew up here the town was beautiful. The Steel Mills were up and running and it was the town in Indiana closest to Chicago but was a beautiful city. I have not gone to this location as I'm afraid of Gary, but I just might take a chance on it.
"Hannah Williams" I heard that when Michael Jackson was growing up there ( and his siblings) the place was crime ridden and though there were steel mills where men could find work to support their families, it was still a "poverty stricken" area where people struggled to make ends meet. It must be one of those ironies. It was worse in a way back when Michael Jackson was a 10 year old boy there, and in a way, it is worse now.
Yes THE city can be dangerous but 2300 Jaskson st. Is a good spot for some tourism in GARY if your interested in the Jackson LEGACY everyone livin on that block instantly knows what your lookin for a will be happy to giv you at least a point towards the house which really can't be missed
Mike was so young when he left Gary does he and Marlon really bond to this home. They actually grew up in California. Gary birth place home California.
Well done video. The neighborhood looks like a 1940's "War Box" development. Basic houses built very quickly for the workers flooding into town for defense jobs. I live in one like that in Seattle.
that’s craaazzyy 😩 . just looking at his childhood home & realizing he was once inside there . like you’re actually standing outside his old house 😭 like omg
It's true somethimes he was there,he love that place!RIP MJ
Actually they still own the house and they come back to visit
I still can't believe he's gone.....R.I.P Michael
I’ve always been proud to be from Gary Indiana and every time I visit, it always makes me feel some type of positive way! Rip MJ
Before I leave this world I have to visit that house RIP MJ

Do you know when the school closed? Last time I visited the neighborhood, the field and bleachers looked all rusty and abandoned.
@@georgethompson3763 No, I left Gary in 1992 and the last time I was there was 12 yrs go.
it's a cute little house,unforgettable memories for the Jackson family,
+Valerja Mici 👍🏽
Yes
I’m so glad I had the chance to go there. A cherished piece of American history. Michael is always missed. 💜🙏🏻
The greatest entertainer who ever lived came out of that house and made Gary proud.
I was born and raised on Chicago’s southside,and we’ve always considered Gary to be a Chicago suburb(It’s only 15 minutes away from my house)… And for those who don’t know, a lot of talent has came out of Gary,not just the Jackson’s!
True that. (Gary born n raised and EC Harbor).
It’s nice to see where it all began. Thank you for sharing with us all.

his life was sad miss him very much never realized how happy and sad he really was he loved his fans !!
This is nice and the Jacksons preserved the home!🎉
Michael invited me to come join him during his last visit in 2003 to 2300 Jackson Street, but I didn't have a great car to drive 3 hours there and back to Toledo Ohio. I wish I had now. But hopefully one day I will be able to see where he began his life and career at.
Always appreciate humble beginnings 💗🙏🏾
What blows my mind with these many videos I've watched of the decay of cities how freaking huge the lots were that had to be a blessing
I went there back in 1998 and his cousin was outside and we talked for a hour. Wasn't no fence at that time. I still have the pictures. Also the school they went to is right around the corner. Roosevelt.
I miss him so much. I'm speechless.love u MJ 💟 pray for us.

I've been to Gary twice now. Was there yesterday and the previous Friday as well. Had no problems. Interesting town with plenty of history.
I live in Gary and his Uncle still lives in the house.....💜🇮🇹
Do they actually live in the house? I heard one cousin lives nearby and comes to the house from time to time, to take care of it.
I was wondering who was taking care of it.
@@TheSharbin The uncle moving and They are talking about trying it into a museum....💜

It was a Michael Jackson blast in the past it was amazing to see their childhood home. It was really great to see the before and after pictures of it

They may have bought the house next door, so that an eyesore wouldn't be directly in view when facing the house.
Imagine being MJ visiting their childhood home. The feelings of being home is something special, I am sure to them that is still their main home.
My Great Grandma Used to Live Right across the street from Them back in 1968. So she'd basically see them come and go all the time.

I wish to visit this holy place....😔luv u a lot Mike....frm India...
