      I loved reading your comment about your memories Edward thank you so much. It adds so much to the purpose of why I film these places. I remember myself cruising Broadway going to the YW drive-in and having a good time. We definitely had a good time in history of the city and I’m so glad we have those memories and with good people like yourself it makes it all worth it. Thank you for sharing your memories and I hope to hear more from you soon on other videos, there’s so much more to see.

      Thank you Dave once again I always remember them from the 70s and early 80s. It seems like in the 90s things started getting crazy with the gangs and crack cocaine and it ruined everything. I’m glad you found the channel and I look forward to hearing from you. And I appreciate you letting me know. I did a good job on the videos.

    WOW !!! It used to be so crowded and busy. The 70's and the early 80's and the steel company laid off so much many. The convention center was once a popular hotel before. Thanks for sharing !!! And The Holiday Star Theater where Kenny Rogers used to perform in Merrillville.

    The northeast corner of Broadway and Ridge road at 9.33 had a Savings and Loan building. My late m-in-l worked there for decades until early 70s. Now a mini-mall. A shame.

    Just saw my old address right quick right on the ave 21st and Broadway always was funny how friends and people and general always thought I was lying because it was so far back from the actual street itself it was automatically assumed well I don’t see it I use to crack up and then sometimes mad because after a while it wasn’t funny anymore it became frustrating but yeah my grandmothers house who was from Tennessee passed in 2008 of pneumonia I miss her 🙏🏾🙏🏾

    I left that place in 1965. I have to say it is very different now. Seems like I recognized the old Sears dept store on 8th and the Palace is not gone yet and the old Gary Hotel bldg stands but that whole stretch of Broadway used to be completely wall to wall stores and shops. A block west of Broadway on 7th or 8th, there used t be another theater the State. I suppose it is gone now? The Palace was always the more popular movie house.

    City Hall was probably the one place you could flee too if thugs were after you. You'd know the police would be tight around there. Any place else other than a police precinct in Gary you were toast.

    I was told by a guy that in the last days of business of Goldblatt's department store that crime was so bad in downtown Gary that the store had a buzzer to let people into the store. Does anyone remember that, or was it an urban legend?

    Brought back a lot memories of growing in Gary in the 60's and early 70's. Really hope Gary can make a come back, but I doubt, even in a best case scenario I will live long enough to see it. If they could have gotten control of the crime and got the city cleaned up 30 years ago recovery would have been much easier. Suspect a lot of former Gary residents would have considered returning.

    Don't you who post these videos of Gary ever think video it on a sunny day to make things a little better and not in a road construction zone? Of course it's going to look horrible.
    The only way to help Gary is to do like the near north side of downtown Indianapolis did. Get grants to rebuild sections a little at a time cater to those in Chicagoland to have incentive to save property taxes in Indiana.
    However Indiana state legislation wouldn't do it be they would rather have a comfort level close to Indianapolis.
    Oh and remember how Trump promised he would have the pageant at the Genesis Center and Gary would be another rebuild city success?
    Big fat liar then big fat liar now
