GARY INDIANA HOODS

[@byronking7463]

I’m always amazed by abandoned homes/blocks. At some point those homes were places where someone lived, made memories, spent holidays, and went when they knew they had no where else to go. Can’t help but think of who/why/when they were left that way.

Thanks for posting. I’m from Gary. I was born in the Dorie Miller Projects. We later moved to a house on Poke St. owned by my grand daddy on my father’s side, but we had to move because the wiring in the house was messed up. I went to Fredrick Douglas Elementary School. My older siblings went to Roosevelt. We later moved to Delaney Projects. I remember Delaney the most. Gary was the murder capital of the 1990s. Til this day I still remember stray bullets flying though our windows, crackheads breaking into our home, Lying on the floor from Shoot outs. Being shot at,people selling drugs. I was only 6 years old when we finally moved to Minnesota . Glad I made it out. But I’ll never forget were I came from.🙏🏾

[@4465Vman]

once US Steel went down hill..the town died

[@cottageindustry3040]

US Steel Gary Works didn't close. The Steel Mill in Gary is still open, operating and producing more steel then ever before. The issue is due to the automation of the steel making process, US Steel doesn't require as many workers to make steel. US Steel Gary Works used to employ 30 thousand people, but now there's only about 9 thousand workers at the Mill in Gary.

US is not the only country suffering by this. It is one of the main global issues. Stuff is manufactured in the China, Taiwan etc. and other countries just assemble some of the parts or machine them. For this semi-production you don't need big companies with many ppl like it used to be 30 years ago. It is still possible to change that in smaller countries like in the Czech Republic where I live but I do not see any easy way how to get the US economy independent on the China again...

A lot of people of color sit at home and twiddle their thumbs all day until the rest of the world get off of their 8-12 hour shifts . And; furthermore, I do not live like this. The majority of the people I do know that live similarly to this, chose not to get an education or even go to work. Yet, they take every dime they have and spend it on dressing well (in clothing they can't afford, might I add) and driving cars like superstars and living like "super bums". My folks didn't have a whole lot, but they taught me to go to work, spend wisely, pay my bills, and take pride in my home! And, by the way... They led by example!

It’s always gloomy & it’s so many abandoned houses/businesses. It’s truly an eye sore. A lot of out-of-towners are moving in escalating the violence. Streets are raggedy & full of pot holes.
