    I went to this school in the 90’s. I don’t understand why the city don’t demolish these old buildings. It’s sad to see this.

      I would guess it's probably a money thing, some have been demolished but there's so many more, those costs would add up. Some of the others I visited actually looked like there were attempts at demolition one point, but were perhaps given up on

    Good one to end the series on I think. I'm pretty sure this was your first encounter with a homeless guy, and finding a car in the building. Yet another thoroughly ravaged location. I think it's official, the economy of Gary is not based on gold, it's based on giant panes of glass windows!! Take it easy and looking forward to the next season of whatever you UA-cam kids call it 😀

    Crazy I went here decades ago! I don't recognize anything from 7th to 8th grade! We used to walk to the stores on our lunch break. Pizzapuff was the popular food and 25 cents Hug Juice. My crush was a dude named Kurt Brown(I think) he used to be a crybaby. I was, too...😂

      I guess it would be hard to recognize anything when half of it is ripped apart like it is, but I'd be kinda sad if I saw a school I went to had been abandoned.

    Loved this series, subscribed and watching all your other content now. Hope you swing back through the area sometime. As someone who has lived in NWI my entire life I find UrBex so interesting!

      Also one last comment, I Drove through Gary on my way home to work and detoured a little (I work right outside the city) and found a cool Slovak Club you might enjoy if you ever visit again

      I've never really had any bad experiences with homeless people, I've only encountered them right in person a scattered handful of times but every time, they've just done their own thing while I did mine.

    If you think Gary Indiana is fantastic you should try East Cleveland Ohio you will have a ball over there 👉 or even flint Michigan
    It doesn’t get better than flint Michigan of course 😊

      I actually plan on being in St. Louis/East St. Louis pretty soon here, I imagine that'll be pretty similar as well.
