I think some people have a mistaken view of Gary.
I was born in Gary but raised in Hammond, so I have a soft spot for my hometown.
I know we hear about loads of crime there, but many of the folks who live there are just as nice, or nicer, than any others in the Region.
I exploded a tire on my car yesterday in Gary, no doubt from the crappy, pothole-ridden roads all over the area. Two nice guys tried to change it for me, but couldn't break the lug nuts.
Another guy, a working dude by the looks of him and his car, WAS able to get the nuts off and changed it for me, nice as you please. No money involved, just a nice smile from my new friend, Bob.
First black dude I ever met named Bob. :D

I have a friend who now lives in Chesterton. He grew up in Gary, and said it used to be a wonderful city until it became overrun with the crime and stuff.

I believe that the problems in a city are directly related to the corruption in the system. Isn't it a shame that corrupt leaders have tarnished what used to be such an all around great place? The heavy industrial period brought a lot of money, and the dogs follow the money.

I am sure there are still quite a few good people hoping that it will get better.

You can trace every problem in Gary directly back to 1967 and the election of Mayor Richard J Hatcher.

100 MILE AN HOUR GOAT

Two Country Boys are out hunting, and as they are walking along they come
upon a huge hole in the ground.

They approach it and are amazed by the size of it.

The first hunter says "Wow, that's some hole; I can't even see the
bottom. I wonder how deep it is."

The second hunter says" I don't know, let's throw something down and
listen and see how long it takes to hit bottom."

The first hunter says "There's this old automobile transmission here,
give me a hand and we'll throw it in and see".

So they pick it up and carry it over, and count one, and two and three,
and throw it in the hole.

They are standing there listening and looking
over the edge and they hear a rustling in the brush behind them.

As they turn around they see a goat come crashing through the brush, run
up to the hole and with no hesitation, and jumped in head first.

While they are standing there looking at each other, looking in the hole
and trying to figure out what that was all about, an old farmer walks
up. "Say there", says the farmer, "you fellers didn't happen to see my
goat around here anywhere, did you?"

The first hunter says " Funny you should ask, but we were just standing
here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes doin' about
a hunert miles an hour and jumped headfirst into this hole here!"

The old farmer said "Why that's impossible, I had him chained to a
transmission!"
