Message from Steel City Storm - 4/26/2024.

Storm, you are one of a kind (unfortunately - there are so few of us left 😁lol). I do believe that through your channel you have brought the plight of Gary and also gave us stories that made us smile. You have shown that even through some tough times, there are patches of blue in a rather gray storm (yeah - you know that I just had to do it lol) by showcasing the positive side of Gary and her valiant efforts to survive and become the city that it was and all of the history behind her. Take care, Storm - have a great break and even though you may not be posting, you and your family are always in our hearts and prayers - oh yeah - can't leave the boyz out - they're a part of the family too. We'll be here with our virtual bags packed and ready to go . 🤗🧳💖💖💖

Colleen, I do not even know where to begin to tell you how much I enjoyed reading this thank you so much. I like what you did with your wording on that storm part two and yes, I know you had to do it lol. I will always love Gary, and the good people that as you say, see through the gray and remember those good memories of yesterday. You should know that my strength comes from people like yourself who encourages me to keep doing the right thing and just document what I see without all the BS. You are a treasure and I thank you so much and I am honored to have such a nice lady like you enjoying the content and supporting the channel. 🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺

[@colleenhelminiak1429]

@@TheSteelCityStorm Thank you (made me blush lol - haven't had that happen for a while). Pardon me if this sounds a bit weird, but you are giving a voice to those who took pride in their city and strived to make it a great place to live and raise a family. It is important that the stories keep being told - and no one tells them better than you.

[@TheSteelCityStorm]

That is not weird at all. I truly understand what you were saying and that is exactly how I feel thank you so much once again Colleen I said it before and I’ll say it again it’s good people like yourself that keep me doing what I do. I appreciate you very much 🌸😎🫵❤️

My father grew up in East Gary in the 50’/60’s and would always talk about the way Gary was in his day. I would of loved to see what it was like back then. I grew up in the Valparaiso area, but have always been intrigued by Gary’s history. I can’t really explain why, but I’ve always been fascinated by this type of thing. There’s an excitement I get from it I guess? Maybe you guys will let me tag along some time haha. Anyway, love the videos bud, and hope all is well 👍.

[@TheSteelCityStorm]

After reading your comment, Matt, I had to giggle a little bit because I totally understand what you were trying to say here. I believe that’s why I wasn’t a unique point in time where things were good and I watched them get pretty bad. Go back after 30+ years and see what it looks like now is like being in an episode of the twilight zone. Trust me this stuff is very addictive. Once you get out there and realize you are looking at things that nobody else sees. The excitement is definitely a drip. Adrenaline rush little by little as you go through these buildings. You just never know what’s around the next corner. You never know maybe sometime it would be the right time and we can hang out. I truly appreciate your comments and most of all I’m glad you are enjoying the content. I believe it’s original and the good stuff will always be there when people really want to see what is what. Appreciate you and hope to hear more from you soon my good man, Matt ‼️💯😎⛈️💯

Does anyone remember the curfews in Gary the 60's with the curfew sirens? were talking around 65, 66, 67 time frame? I remember bits and pieces as a child. I'm trying to confirm my memory !! Oh, and i appreciate your hard work Steel City Storm ! Your channel is bitter sweet.....but thank you for the ride down memory lane. I grew up on Adams street. My street is gone but my memories will never die.

[@TheSteelCityStorm]

You are very welcome unfortunately I was born in 65 however, I do remember having to be home before the street lights came on. I appreciate you reaching out to people and seeing if anybody else remembers those good times in your life. We grew up on 35th and Connecticut into the late 70s and 80s and it was a great place to be. I hope to hear from you and I appreciate you very much reaching out and letting me know you are enjoying your content and the memories. 🫵😎🫵💯‼️⛈️

[@TheSteelCityStorm]

I like the way you said that Terry and I have always thought the same thing if you’re new there is so much to see out there after seven years plus of videotaping everything and anything that I thought would be interesting for people to watch. Gary, Indiana is truly a unique city to explore, and I am proud to say that I grew up in and my love that will never die. Hope all is well and thank you so much for your comment. I truly enjoyed reading it, my friend. 🌸🌺⛈️❤️

[@mattst.germain4023]

Man I’ve been watching a lot of these the last few weeks. I too am fascinated by them especially the schools. The Horace Mann and Edison Middle school ones were eerie just to watch, would of loved to see them in person. I saw one where you guys were off Broadway around Connecticut/Massachusetts looking at houses that was great. Liked the one at the Delaney Projects and Gilroy Stadium. Was wondering if you had any in particular you found the most eerie or interesting.

[@TheSteelCityStorm]

I’m really glad that you are enjoying the contact Matt there are so many Crazy ones out there I do not know where to even begin. 😆 Thank you for letting me know you are enjoying the content. I put a lot of time and going out filming and it’s good to see. They are finally getting recognized and watched. You go to the playlist section of my channel. The block apocalypse series and also the Gary Indiana school videos are crazy. You will not believe some of the crazy stuff on those videos. Thank you so much Brother for letting me know about the ones you are enjoying and I hope to hear more from you very soon. There are so much to watch. Enjoy my good man. 🫵😎🫵⛈️💯‼️

[@mattst.germain4023]

@@TheSteelCityStormI’ll check that out for sure. Im only subscribed to 2 You Tube channels. Literally… And 1 of them is yours haha. Do you think you’ll do anymore schools videos or particular places in Gary in the future? Have any bucket list places to explore?

[@TheSteelCityStorm]

There is a couple out there that I have not done but other than that, I have pretty much covered them all. They have cracked down on the schools and places like that because of all the kids getting inside. Just like Lou Wallace they said it on fire about 10 times and then some other kids were running around naked inside the building. After stuff like that happened they really started cracking down on those kind of explorer but there’s always something to exploring Gary. I promise you that.

[@TheSteelCityStorm]

And I really do appreciate that honor of having good people like yourself support what I do and your subscription over the years means a lot. I do appreciate you so much for that and hopefully we can meet and do something somewhere down the line.

[@mattst.germain4023]
