To people like Dave below, we're leaving Gary just to destroy another developed white city. Black people need to become more self sufficient. It makes me tired to hear blacks down Gary, then move to a white neighborhood and tear that one up over a number of years. If we can't first acknowledge our own problems, we won't be able to do better. Too many of us blacks just don't have the desire, or willpower to initiate change.

I'm not assuming you are black, but I hear way too many blacks talking that way about their hoods.

I graduated from Lew Wallace in 66. We could actually walk all around Glen Park and never be bothered...even at night! We used to spend our summers at Miller Beach. It is so hard to see Gary like this.

Gary has a great mayor know who knows what he is doing and i do believe that gary is going to be a great city one day

Gary, like every other city, has nice parts and bad parts. The farther east you go towards Laporte County Gary turns into a nice rural/suburban community with victorian houses and beaches. Personally I find your photo compilation to be incomplete and biased.

gary is the most bashed city on the net.,you have to be frome here i agree that a downtown repersents a city,but the families inside and beach are great if you are from there

this is a political act, they know and see what is going on to this city. If we dont care then why should anyone else..I was born in gary, and went to M.L.King, When you mention to someone that you are from Gary,Ind. they eyes pop-up!!!! If only that can happen to give them a pic. ass if Gary was a must see city like Vegas....Please leave some for my kids to come back to. There's still a lot of good people in Gary, and taletent too Big-up to all the Paster's Bishop's Rev. Churches in G.I. If Gary,Indiana could talk she would say,"Someone Please Take Care of Me....."

The photos were taken in downtown Gary, Indiana. Downtowns throughout America and the world are the representation of the entire city. If residents and politicians wants the image of their city to improve then they need to improve their downtown. It doesn't matter how much sprawl a city creates, if their downtown is neglected then the image will follow suite.

I live in Gary and why is it that every time someone come here to take pictures they go the most delapadated part of town? Those pictures are all taken in or near the Old downtown area there are plenty of decent nice area of the city form which pictures can be taken and lot of activity and people are around. This is a damn shame that everyone wants to see us this way.

I grew up in Miller Beach on the lake shore area of Gary. It's too bad you didn't have any photos from there. I do remember downtown Gary back in the 50's and into the 60's. The steel mills closed and teh town collapsed. Whites moved to the surrounding towns, Merrillville, St. John, Griffith, Highland, Crown Point, Valparasio, Portage.

Gary, Indiana? What were you thinking.

In referance to Robert Kitay. That's what freaks me out most about Gary. I've been to Compton, East St. Louis, Gary and many other neglected areas but Gary is unique in that every time I'm there, I have not seen one person. I've been there more than a few times, somewhere in the teens, and at all times of the day. I don't know what's up with that.

what a sh*t hole

Who stole all the plywood and tarpaper?

I was born and raised in Gary. You won't find me there today.

Dude, this town used to look so down until they put in those new decorative street lights. Makes all the difference in your photos...and what a great use of taxpayer $$$

Where is everyone? Not a person or car to be seen. Looks like nuclear winter or something.
