I went to work by bike and walk to go to work at the old wiseway now called city mall 53th ave...fun times 90s I was the best dress male at front....🎉😂😅
Unbelievable. The most familiar place from my childhood--45th and Broadway--is completely unrecognizable in this video.
When I was 11, our car collided with another car at 68th and Broadway. I don't remember the accident, but I learned later that I was thrown from our car into the middle of Broadway. The last thing I remember before the accident was sitting in the backseat of our car reading something. When I woke up three days later, I was in a hospital in downtown Gary at least five or six miles away. Other than having 27 stitches in three places, including ten on the back of my head, and aching all over, I was in pretty good shape. A few days later, I was allowed to go home. (This accident was an important event in my childhood and it helps me to write it down as well as I remember it. I'm sorry if it upsets anyone. Since I don't remember the accident and I ended up with only some stitches and no lasting impairment, I can be fairly unemotional in going through the events of a brief but important part of my life.
Forty-fifth and Broadway is just one of the familiar places of my childhood, but it is certainly a place I remember well, even if it is unrecognizable to me in this video. I remember many, many things from Glen Park and the rest of Gary and the nearby cities and towns. I don't think the accident has taken away really any of my memories of my childhood in Northwest Indiana. I now live near the West Coast of the United States.
It’s definitely crazy and that is a wild story and I appreciate you taking the time to share your memories and thought Bobby hope to hear more from you soon. I hope that you are enjoying the channel. I do really appreciate you taking the time to leave your thoughts, I enjoyed reading this very much. It sounds like a lot of my crazy stories. I’m just glad we grew up in a time where things were so much different and yes as far as 45th Ave. and Broadway nothing looks the same all trashed out now it’s pretty depressing just looking at it sometimes.
@@TheSteelCityStorm I really appreciate that you responded to my comment. The image of 45th and Broadway is so clear in my mind. At the northwest corner of the intersection was a brick Rexall Drug Store that I had been in so many times. I really couldn't believe it when I could see that the video was at 45th Avenue and Broadway. My house was a half block south of 45th Avenue just twelve blocks west of that intersection, and I remember our car turning north there hundreds of times during my years in Gary.
My father worked 41 years in the U.S. Steel mill, and, no matter how dirty and dangerous and how bad for your health the mill could be, he still was driving a car at the age of 88. A sudden heart attack finally got him.
It was really good for me to go over the time of that accident in my mind. I am very fortunate to have had no lasting physical problems because of the accident.
Gary was a good place to grow up in at that time, but it was just a big factory town based primarily on steel. Various businesses providing goods and services to workers in the mill and their families were an important part of the economy of the city, but the millworkers' pay was too great a source of income for those stores. When the mill went down, the stores went down hard.
Another problem of life in Gary was that millworkers came from all over the country, from all over the world. The city was a giant mix of nationalities, cultures, and even languages that didn't blend well at all. After leaving Gary I met people who had come from small towns and who, whether they liked it or not, were raised by the whole town. Gary was nothing like that. We hardly knew our neighbors, much less the people we saw on the streets. When I moved to Terre Haute at age 17, I was amazed by the friendliness of the people there even though Terre Haute had had economic problems for a long time.
My sister, eight years older than me, grew up in Gary but now lives in the small city of Valparaiso, always called Valpo in Gary, which is maybe 30 miles southeast of Gary. On the phone, she has told me several times that Glen Park is very different now, but I never thought it would be so different that NOTHING on Broadway was familiar to me in this video.
I could tell you more stories about Gary than you would ever want to hear, but I'll save them for some other time.
@@TheSteelCityStorm I DID see the place at 68th where I got thrown out of the car onto Broadway.
Great information i lived on adams st and Jackson st in 80s
Thank you Michael I’m glad you enjoyed the video. However, I know it’s sad to see but those old memories can never be demolished or taken away from us. I feel the same way I lived on Connecticut Street in the 80s and it was the best time of my life.
Thanks for the vid I’m from Gary born and raised now reside in Madison,WI
Nicolemc Anderson Thank you for taking the time to leave that comment I really appreciate that hope you’re enjoying the videos
🌸👈😎⛈
Me too, born and raised. Left when I was 14, reside in Denver, CO now. Been here 30 years! It's a cliche, but time does fly!
Yes Gary Indiana I was born there and lived there till I was 19 then went to the navy. Am an graduate of Roosevelt High class of 1978 it’s an shame to see an city turn into an ghost town 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
I’m from Gary! Grew up on 5th Ave. Went to Horace Mann
I grew up in Gary on Washington St. in Junedale. I graduated from Lew Wallace in 1970. I have such good memories of Gary being a beautiful place to be raised in and Junedale having so many kids to play with. I don't even recognize Gary anymore. Soooooo sad
😪
Patricia Hartley I will it mitt it is tough to look at at times I feel the same way that’s why I figured it was so important to capture what it looks like now before it’s all gone it looks like it’s on it’s last leg now as far as these old structures go thank you for your comment I really appreciate it hope to hear more from you soon💯👈
I went to Lewis Wallace to I also live on Washington
Born an raised in gary still here i love my city ill be 40 years of age
Ray Rizzle
Where did most of the people go and why? Looks like a nice city.
The still mills closed. Drugs , violence, and corrupt mayors
I lived on 43rd and Massachusetts with my Dad in my teens, and went to Lew Wallace. Back then, Morningside was one of the nicest neighborhoods in all of Gary. Last time I drove through, about 10 years ago, it was full of abandoned houses too.
Thanks for an amazing ride. I cannot believe the old Harvey's Five and Dime on Broadway just past Ridge Rd. stands let alone the sign is almost intact after so many years. C&L auto parts on 41st is historic by now and Piatak Meats is a name I had long forgotten. I remember that marque from long ago with the cow on top. I see it said "closing sale". This video is 18 months old now so even those things may have changed.
Dave P Thank you for that comment sorry I’m just now seeing it but you are very welcome and I have more dash cam car rides coming soon thank you for your time to leave that comment I enjoyed reading it hope to hear more from you very soon once again I’m sorry I just now seeing this sometimes I don’t see messages for a long time to get mixed in so many videos💯👍💯
Piatak Meats closed around 2017, a few years after someone tried to rob one of the butchers working there off hours and shot and murdered him and put his body in one of the coolers.
I grew up in Gary, Lived on 5th and Adams. I have wisps of memory of living at the hotel Gary. This town was amazing. We moved to 36th and Maryland. My stepdad is still there. I went to Lew Wallace, which will be tore down soon. Sad really, my beautiful town. I retired in Griffith, reminds me a lot of Gary except people are wary at dusk. Oh how the world has changed! I can tell you're new at this, you'll get more comfortable with time. There are many stories and ghosts here, good luck man.
Glad you are enjoying the memories and I too went to lew wallace 84 see you next video hopefully
I grew up in gary actually glen park 38th and Louisiana went to lew Wallace I loved gary moved away in 70s
@@jcic1808 You have my cat Georgie's twin!!!
Between 95 and 2000 I lived on 41st and Monroe and 45th and Jefferson. Interesting times lol but it left me w an affection for the City of Gary. I'm amazed and saddened when I see areas looking like ghost towns . In the 90s it was still a busy city .
I moved to Gary in 1967. Lew Wallace class of 1971. First lived on 45th and Pierce, then to 37th and Broadway above Hank & Casey's Casino Club. I still tell people they had the best beef sandwiches anywhere. I now live in Idaho, but I love the memories.
We used to roller skate at Barbara's Playhouse on the southwest corner of Broadway and 25th Avenue in the mid 60's!! I still have those skates!!
Thanks for the ride. I use to drive Broadway about every day in the 70s. I see Merrillville still looks good
Norm Same thing here I am glad you enjoyed thank you for your comment
Grew up in the 5100 block of Pennsylvania Street in Glen Park. Thankyou for drive and the memories A lot has changed for sure
Stop by The Disciplinarium at 1415 Pennsylvania St.
Jammin tune. My old neighborhood. 43rd and Lincoln. Moved in ‘76. And then you drove by the Y&W drive in. No longer there. Back in ‘02 I believe me and my mom walked through it when it still looked like a drive in but had been closed since ‘96 I think. Man did I have some fun there. Great great great nights watching classic 80’s horror movies. I miss those days. I really enjoyed the video.
This drive began from 2300 Jackson St.to 23rd Avenue then down Washington street to 24th Avenue to Broadway and at the light you were at 25th Avenue and then you continue down Broadway .
Haiti has really recovered since the earthquake!
I was born in Gary Indiana move to California when I was five recently just came back From Indiana fell in love with it I'm 37 now Really considering moving back

@@TheSteelCityStorm

"The Gibby's Sunshine Day" ride,
I wanted your fans to be able to experience the same feeling, themselves. 😊
I live in gary moved back, lot cheaper than k town in chicago
Thanks for the memories
Hey storm or anybody else up there, when you turned on 23rd avenue it looks like you took off from the corner of the Jackson 5 house but I didn't see it on the left, but when you got to the first Street to through was Jefferson Street the house on the south east corner with the yellow trim and looks like some kind of dark red, that was William Marshalls mother's house, we are Marshall is the guy who was a famous Shakespearean actor who might be best on for Blacula the movie and he also had a recurring role on Star trek as a professor / inventor who created a machine that was meant to guard but went haywire and out-of-control, before my grandfather moved to 26th and Washington he rented a room from Miss Marshall, and he used to play with young William Marshall on his knee, look up William Marshall plays on Star trek the original series of course, so when I was a little boy in 1968 and he told me who William Marshall was and how he knew him I said to myself this is the first time my grandfather lied to me,I simply didn't believe it either this guy is famous on TV he was born just a few blocks away so I remember asking the school it was shy about doing it for fear of embarrassment, and damned if she didn't tell me was true, one of my first introductions to, by the way if my grandfather ever lied to me I never knew it but I never doubted him afterwards since, there you have it one bit of trivia! I used to be a sign in that front yard for years, because it was dubbed a historic place.
Thank You for all that info we have done a video for that house but did not know the rest of that stuff much appreciated you taking the time to comment all that
I went to Douglas school with Lamont Patterson. He was too cool for as young as we were..😅
Hey I enjoy these videos a lot, being from East Chicago Indiana myself I can relate to a lot of the things you talk about and show. I have a lot of family members that live in Gary Indiana. If you need any help as far as editing software or tips feel free to ask me, brother.
Thank You Brother that is really cool of you to say and I am glad you are enjoying the hometown based videos. I really appreciate that offer and will keep that offer in mind I am pretty new to the youtube and learning as I go. I might take you up on that offer of editing.

Isn't 25th the Tarrytown area?
Tarrytown Tarrytown is a subdivision located on Gary's west side between Whitcomb Street and Clark Road.
@@TheSteelCityStorm when I was a kid I lived on east 8th and I knew of 25th as the Terrytown area. I didn't know specifics. Thank you for clearing that up. I like your videos. Now if only you would tell us where you are as you're driving around because to a lot of us who used to live there, nothing looks familiar anymore.
That’s where I was born
Wow very depressing...if it wasn’t for Indiana University NW there wouldn’t be any reason to go to Glen Park
Glen Park is a little on the dangerous side because there are still a lot of people there however so much destruction on the side streets it’s unbelievable it’s definitely scary at times
Hey storm stop by any time an regale me with Gary's good memories get the grill goin or somethin. peace
Sounds good Clarence I will keep that in mind and appreciate that very much My good Man

My father was a legend he lived on 25th and Jackson he was the bootleg
