Gary is just like any city in the US. We have beautiful neighborhoods and we have some ugly ones. I was born and raised in Gary. All you people living on the outside of this city speak so illl and disrespectful of our city as if you are here. There are still very hard-working and wonderful people who live here. Our city was and is still beautiful. Unfortunately, we allowed selfish and greedy politicians into office and instead of them help our city they stole from us. Sold us a pipe dreams and bailed when their deal was done. But Gary did just become this way overnight. Our city took major losses after Mayor Hatcher, a man who was all about helping the black community, became the first black mayor. At the time Gary was very segregated and Mayor Hatcher was all about black power. Naturally so, whites didn't like that and left and so did key businesses that kept money flowing through the city. Gary has potential to be a thriving city once again. I just wish people in my generation would fight harder for our city, and stop fighting each other. To you sir recording, I hope you come back to that same neighborhood and get a chance to see us enjoy what we do have. I've lived in the area on video just about all my life. I attended that Elementary school ( Spaulding). We are good people and we work harder everyday trying to pick up the pieces and rebuild our city day after day.

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 had been living with relatives for the past 8 years until one relative assaulted me. I then went to a domestic violence shelter, then I moved into my new apartment. I see delapadated buildings being demolished all the time. I see junk men hauling away scrap everything from buildings that are being torn down. That in itself is a big step. The going is slow, but Gary officials are trying. No, Gary isn't what it used to be but they are trying to change that.

It was like 1,300 miles or something like that. The folks are very very nice and downtown still shows remnants of it’s former glory days. I stopped by Vee and E Jamaican Restaurant on Grant St right beside the bank and the lady was really sweet.

I remember in the mid-1990s when Gary was dethroning DC & the N.O. as the “Nation’s Murder Capital”. This is what happens when you have a once-thriving city who’s main ricebowl (in this case, steel production) is taken away, relocated, and nothing is brought in to fill the void. And the education system in Gary wasn’t the best either, in terms of spending & investing in the system. No decent education+no good jobs=recipe for disaster. Camden, NJ is very similar.

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.

I travelled to USA for the first time in last March and I took a Greyhound bus from NYC to Chicago. The bus stopped quickly at Gary, Indiana and I had never heard about that city before. The train station and whole downtown was pretty quiet and not many cars, even tho it was like 10am on a work day. Then the bus left the station and it headed back to the highway and we drove through the city and a strip of some suburban area. I felt like I was in a CharlieBo's video! I was hoping to see more of that scenery but it ended pretty soon. Later I read about Gary and how abandoned it is. It's crazy and funny cos I never planned to go to a place like this. Thanks Charlie for the footage.

Circling the same two Emerson/Midtown area neighborhoods. This is an extreme bias for bate clicks. My grandfather built two homes in Gary, so I have fond memories, and still enjoy visiting our family gardens and the National Dunes and Lake Michigan. Their are 10-15 districts in Gary: Morning Side, Brunswick, HoraceMann, Tolleston, Midtown, Miller, Glenn Ryan, Aetna, Glenn Park, University Park, Small Farms, Concord, West Side,Jefferson Park, Ambridge-Mann, Miller Beach, Means Manner, Marshalltown, Jefferson Park, Black Oaks, Village Calumet Township; all covering over 100 Miles. Where was Nationally Registered historical Church of the Holy Angeles, Froebel Park & Roosevelt High School-right across from Michael Jackson's childhood home!? The Gary/Chicago Airport, Majestic Casino & Hotel, Railcats Baseball Statium, Chute Bath and Beach House, Genesis Center or the Arts Cultural Center? Marquette Park Deco Style Ballroom and Pavilion; The Downtown Parks with sculptures, fountains, miniature Statute of Liberty and Jackson 5 mural!? The Lake Street Art and Food district in Miller!? Why did you not show $60k- $2mil homes in Miller, Means Manner, Horace Mann and Small farms/Tolleston areas or the Midtown new family smart affordable housing!? Gary closed all public/"project" housing by 98% aside from senior living. Where is the footage of the millions in dollars new affordable housing for Veterans and dorm style community housing for homeless and recovering abused & battered women and children build in 2015-18? Contact the Lake County Tax Assessors office to support those home values and property tax assessments. The active Gary MetroBus/South Shore Train/Greyhound Transit Center off the Park? There is 170 year old pioneer Lutheran church and cemetery of the founders of Gary? The classical City and County buildings recently used in a television series? Indiana University Parkway, and golf course off the Natural Reserve and Little Calumet River not shown!? Gary's indigenous population left in the 1990s, it is now a rental property for TEMPORARY migrant people from Chicago, etc. . But some natives still reside who try to address the blight issues. Read Essence magazine and meet native born current Mayor. Next time get a map and take someone generationally born, raised and work hard with the City and the Army Corps of Engineers getting many of those homes torn down. I was born in Gary, worked for the City, volunteered and advocated all over Indiana for the City so I know you have No Idea what happens there beyond this short stereotypical video.

I am so glad to hear you say this. I was born and raised there lived there for the first 26 years of my life. I remember when Broadway had everything from Sears to Kresge's and I really don't get why people who were not there, don't want to believe and/or understand that there was a lot more to the city's decline. The poor people who were left behind when the mills closed and the infrastructure suffered directly as result. When employment dries up or in this case outsourced out of Gary, this is what happens. It happened to a lot of our industrial cities when companies get goods like steel from overseas manufacturers.

However, it is tragic that this City and the lives of its residents were destroyed by corporate greed, and stupid politicians who closed the steel mills in order to buy cheaper overseas steel. America first is not always on the political agenda. The politicians motto is my party, right or wrong, how can it best suit me, to hell with the people it negatively affects. Sad but true...

This is what he shows on his channel, the areas of cities that are in decay or in the worst conditions. I started watching his Detroit videos of abandoned neighborhoods and was just drawn by the thoughts of what those who lived there once went through and what their lives were like and what they have become. I'm from Indiana as well and still live here, so I understand your need to try and make others know about the history of places such as Gary , but this is just what his channel focuses on. I see it more as a realistic/educational look into what has happened in many places once industry leaves and government doesn't do anything and the toll it takes with time. I've met people who don't think Detroit "took that bad of a hit" when the car industry left and do not understand poverty in this country, I've shown them these videos as part of opening their eyes because they have never seen conditions like in Gary or Detroit or any of the other places he films. While yes there are great places in Gary people also need to see the bad to know that everything is not alright for everyone.
