- Gary, which was estimated in 2015 to have nearly 7,000 vacant buildings, has periodically suffered from problems with arson. An arson fire killed three children in December 2016, and the infamous blaze of 1997 rampaged through downtown, destroying several buildings and damaging City Methodist Church, the former Goldblatt's Department Store and the historic Memorial Auditorium where President Truman visited and where the Jackson Five performed.

Updated Music lol
I need some gary drone footage
The music is too joyful for this
I hear ya. Was very new at that then. Was just happy to put a song into it lmao
The 3rd song had me in tears... so beautiful but sad
Changed! Lol
I was born in this city. Back in ‘65. It was a different place then. Much nicer but...on its way to getting like this. The steel industry collapsed starting in the 70’s and wiped out this town once jobs started going away. We moved in ‘76 as I was getting in fights daily and Mom and Dad didn’t feel safe here anymore.
I left in 2002 and finally came back in 2018 to visit.. The difference was almost as bad as 1970 vs 1990 but with no money left to invest in new projects. I dont even see why they let those old politicians run gary anymore smh. Im 31 and far as I know, none of my generation cares to comes back to at least revert gary's commerce and economics to 1990's level. You only have middle aged and senior citizens running the show. I want to come back to help but my life is in georgia.
Wow. Looks terrible. No industry there, im not mad at ya
You left... you’re apart of the reason it’s crumbled
To 90s level? ...the 90s were also horrible for Gary
Very nice, i have not been back to Gary, In since 2001. I lived on 4th and Madison St. I graduated from West Side high in 1978. And worked as a welder there no real nice memories but it was home. I have had dreams of remodeling the layout of Gary, but who can't dream? Thanks again.
Make Gary a Bright City again for the future. The PEOPLE DESERVE THAT. RESTORE IT FOR GARY IS A LEGEND IN ITS TIME, AND VERY HISTORICAL, and Beautifull historical Buildings that can be restored, The Architecture in Gary is so Precious save them its worth it. WE CAN MAKE IT GREAT AGAIN. HAVE FAITH HAVE HOPE, HAVE PEACE HAVE HEART, GOD BLESS GARY IN. AND ITS PEOPLE TO PROSPER. BE BLESSED.
Venus Gamez thank you for your beautiful kind words we appreciate it and we can't wait for them to start rebuilding the city back , investments have already been made, I guess a lot of people don't know about folks buying up land and property, it will look great with the new baseball stadium.....I wonder why the person that made the video didn't go over by the baseball stadium, it's real nice.....have a great day.
The idiots at city hall are tearing down the architecture....like the Holiday inn/Sheraton hotel ...the white water tower and the Auditorium.....all gone!!
IDIOTS!!!!
I sure hope that Gary can come back
I've never seen trees growing on top of buildings lol.
Gary was the Place to be in the 50's and 60's. I still love visiting Miller Beach
No surprise that things were different 70 years ago. I wonder what today's one industry boomtowns will look like 50 years from now. Do places like Midland Odessa Texas really have a good future? I suspect they will end up abandoned like Gary.
Yes, Miller was a great community to grow up in . graduated from Wirt 1969, husband from Emerson 1959 . went back 2 yrs ago. Made me sick
Now that is depressing. It looks like the aftermath of a nuclear disaster (Chernobyl).
Tbh chernobyl looks nicer
Love the drone footage. It's completely different from looking from the street. A building without a roof isn't a building.
Looks like my Sim cities when I was just learning the game.
Steel was the lifeblood of Gary- we need the steel mills back.....
it's about time Gary move on from the steel industry. they should have diversified the economy back when the city still had money to maintain their infrastructure
They should tear down the mills and reclaim the shoreline for a new beginning of luxury condos and a marina and tourism with an amusement park and boardwalk....get heavy industry out....they have taken for decades now they block the only remaining asset that Gary really has left....the beautiful freshwater ocean that is not found everywhere.
Ask beijing
"Welcome to Gary" "If your looking for urban abandonment, out of control crime, violence and drugs like the 1980's You'll want to call Gary home"
I worked as a manager of a bank in Gary back in 2013 for a little over a year. I heard how Gary was dangerous but after working there I never felt like my life was in danger. If anything it was depressing to see the state the people and city in general were in. By comparison, I’d spend any amount of time in Gary versus spending even a minute on Chicago’s south and west sides. I’d rather fight depression than fight for my life.
It's a lot safer than it was. In the eighties or nineties Indiana had to send 50 members of the national guard to Gary to help keep the gang violence down.
Thanks for sharing! I was born in Gary of year 64...Watching this brought back a lot of memories. I left Gary in 93 for Mississippi, and returned to Gary in 94, left again for Minnesota in 94 I've been here 27 years. I really miss my 3 remaining sisters, and one brother in Indiana. I last visited back in August this year 2021! As far as moving back I'm 50/50. I've given it to God, so now I'm just waiting on him to lead me.
Wow you been gone since 93. God will always steer you right.
I worked in Gary in the eighties and lived there in the nineties. I've heard that it's a lot safer than it was 25 years ago.
SO DEPRESSING .....
Tear down the ruins. Their sight kills dreams.
They should give people jobs doing that .
@@wardatkins1320 they can't afford it
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It costs money to tear down buildings...you going to pay for it?
Born and raised, left in 86. Attended Roosevelt High school.
I used to ride my bike in Gary when I was a kid, went to school there, worked there, and lived there for a little while as an adult. A shame to see it disappearing.
A great setting to make war movies.
Exactamundo, I just saw full Metal jacket and the Vietnam setting looks way better than this shithole lol.😅😄😅
Great drone footage. I lived and went to high school in Gary, Roosevelt Panthers. Played in Washington Park 13th & Pennsylvania Street, 2 streets over from the old police station. Left in 2014. Visited in 2018 and it's a shame it continues to get worse. Talk about ghost town. Gary still has great potential to be better but major change has to come.
NICE! Great work.
wrong music for this - should be a requiem or dirge
FANTASTIC camera work. great Job. >
And to think it was a beautiful city at one time.
Looks like Germany in 1945.
Nice, Thanks
Things have changed a bit...
Beautiful
That’s so awesome
This is low key basicly Indiana as a whole
The sad decay of the industrial Midwest. Bring back those factories and raze and/or rebuilt that blight.
the factories aren't coming back. apparently it was our government's bright idea to send our production overseas.
Thank you for sharing. So many familiar bones. We lived at 7th and Washington over my Grandfathers business. Was a wonderful place to live. A large beige building stands there now, curious what it houses. The Gary hotel was a lovely building, the only building that there is a sign of life in it now. We ate there several times a week, was always very good, as was the Lake hotel on Wash. St. . What a crying shame. Your music selection was perfect.
Most Garyites have moved south to Indianapolis, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas. Unfortunately you can't raise your children in blithe and desolation. There is nothing there. The lights have been turned out a l-o-n-g tine ago.
Great footage! I am working on a project in Gary and would like to use a few 2-3 second clips of your work and give you credit. Can you please reach out to discuss? Thanks!
This is one of the saddest cities in America and one in the world....I used to live in Kokomo, Elkhart and Evansville, IN. Memories...now I'm in Contra Costa County, California which is the contrast to this and one of the richest counties in America. Contra Costa County is the 5th best and richest county in California.
I wonder what will happen to Silicon Valley once they send the tech industry overseas or even to less expensive areas in the US. I'm sure these companies are going to start getting tired of paying bloated salaries for people living in the Bay Area. California's success is an illusion. It is riding on a tech and a real estate bubble. I guess you can enjoy it while it lasts.
nice! Im planning on getting a drone soon. Was thinking of going with one made by Holy Stone.
Very cool. I use the Phantom 3 - great drone. Want to get the Phantom 4 Plus...
Place looks lovely.
Totally
Downtown Gary Indiana. Where no one complains about the potholes.
Uma bela infraestrutura abandonada. Parece um cenário de pós guerra. Dá tristeza ver isso. Certamente já foi uma cidade próspera com pessoas felizes morando aí. Hoje dá medo andar por essas ruas abandonadas. Sempre vejo vídeos dessa cidade por ser a terra natal de Michael Jackson. Imagino que era um lugar bom de se viver. Michael Jackson esteve na minha cidade Salvador Bahia, Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I was born in Gary in 1961. My mother grew up there and my grandparents remained there until around 1971 then moved to a nearby town. I haven't been in Gary since maybe 1968. One time we drove through Gary on the way to somewhere else and it was a highlight of the trip that we encountered only one red light. Apart from that we drove straight through the town. I've heard about not getting out of your car when in Gary and to not stop at an intersection if no one else is around. I have relative buried in Gary but there is no way I'm going to that town.
Well be more open minded 0,Gary it's largely abandoned ...I've been there at least 7 times it's just empty almost no people or animals
@@deadartapart Not close-minded, simply taking a cautious approach concerning some of the people who are still there.
that was Awesome !
Nice footage! I need to do a University project about generating crowds in an already existing footage and I would need to use 8-10 seconds of your video. Would it be okay for you? I'm just going to use it for a personal student project without gaining any profit from it. Thanks!
I’ll be moving to Gary,IN Soon. Even going to start a family there
Turrible city in the boondocks vibes
My god, what happened here ??
Jobs in Gary were most manufacturing jobs, so when manufacturing jobs went overseas, that meant that the jobs left the city, and when there’s no jobs, people leave, and when people leave, cities begin to look neglected and abandoned, then the poverty that comes with jobs leaving a city begins to set in. The result is Gary plus many other cities in the Rust Belt region of the US declining economically,
Such beautiful music...this is the future of every American city if we can't bite the bullet and figure out what must be done... And I say figure out as a figure of speech. Much of the problem is denial, why I'm not sure.
Didn't see one swimming pool in any gardens
Well done
Thank man! Practice Practice Practice
3:28 whats up with the one building that has a nice lot and looks clean. Also the houses at 4:53 dont look too bad comparatively
First one is a new charter school and the other is a somewhat newer mixed income neighborhood that was built. Before they were just as blightened spots
Daniel B its good to see an effort in building new things
looks like a great place to make a zombie movie
Ppl who still live there are heroes. God bless this city.
True! I live in a violent city too, so I'm a hero! We're all heros!
@@narata1541 Why you cant move out there?
Is this being constantly frozen by the Gary Chamber of Commerce?! I can watch it?
Mogadishu right??
I gave you a thumbs up due to the great drone footage but the music is all wrong, maybe slow blues
nope the music was perfect.
what a beautiful city
I'm detecting sarcasm lol
It used to be
GEREAT SHOTS WITH THE DRONE.
This is an American city. It was also once a thriving one. People still live in it. It can thrive again.
I doubt it. People have been talking about reviving Gary for the last 30 years. If Gary couldn't take advantage of this current wave of urban redevelopment then it probably never will. The root of the problem is the local economy. Gary is not a tech or finance hub and it never will be. Manufacturing is not coming back. What's left is transportation and Gary can't even get their airport together.
@@Imperial0666
It's an easy train ride to Chicago. And low Indiana state taxes as well. The problem is white people won't move there because of the schools.
@@crowbird213 Lack of amenities, crumbling infrastructure and an overall feeling of being in the third world keeps most people away. The legacy problems of Gary are hard to shake off. It's much easier to develop a cornfield outside of Valparaiso or St John than deal with the problems of Gary.
A studio full of sorrow. A film that was documented with an array of pandemia before it's time.
I see Chicago in the distance
I never noticed that. That's funny.
Wait thats gothic architecture. Why do we gotta destroy beautiful buildings.
Okay, that was officially blood-curdling. For more years than I care to remember, I've been getting a certain dream when someone in my family is about to die. I find that I'm in the back seat of some car or other, looking at buildings as I pass them. I turn aside for a few seconds and when I look at the buildings again, they are now windowless empty shells. That church that appeared to be almost all right until you turned the corner and saw the exposed roof beams and general ruin of the place was a good example of what I mean.
Abandoned buildings and uprooted sidewalks are reoccurring themes in my dreams.
@@DEVOn.A.Skertic I hope they don't have the meaning that mine do.
@Miriam, most often there is no narrative, just floating through town like a drone.
@@DEVOn.A.Skertic There's no narrative in mine, either, not the premonitions or the ones I used to have where I'd find myself in some city I could never identify.
Are there currently ANY nice neighborhoods in Gary?
Very very limited. Next to none...
Nice footage...bad music
219 in the building " East side "
Its bizarre to see USA like this...I mean, everything destroyed from the Balkans war in the 90:s in Bosnia, Kosovo is since years rebuilt. I dont get it?
Because Americans build things out of profit and necessity ...we build things out of need and have the mindset of well if theirs no money to make than fuc it let it rot
This is what a party supermajority looks like (not blaming Democrats specifically, but their tax policies don’t help the situation). In a supermajority of any party, politicians don’t feel a reason to work.
What's amazing is that downtown Chicago is only about 40 miles from there. Chicago city limits are only around 15-20 miles.
A lot of Chicago underwent serious decay during the 1960s until the 1980s. Whole neighborhoods and industrial districts were virtually abandoned and rotting. But today property that was completely derelict in say 1980 is now intensely developed, bustling, and worth an obscene amount of money. For the most part even lower income neighborhoods look decent. The property in many lower income areas is worth a lot of money; way too much for most residents to afford to own.
It's all about the money. Gary has very little use to the economy any more. What I see in this video makes me sad.
Right...in other countries they just throw up buildings to have buildings for looks. North Korea is the best example but plenty of other countries do this. Then they are left with an entire skyline full of unused and unfinished buildings, that generate zero money. At this point, for a place like downtown gary to become relevant again, it would need to be completely leveled and rebuilt, with plans and contracts with businesses already in place to come in after rebuilding. Its beyond that point of being able to do something like bringing in one big manufacturing plant or something to turn the economy around. This place is a true ghost town.
It's all black people and not close enough to Chicago to be jentrified. The location is actually descent though. On the water with a short train commute to downtown Chicago. They also have low Indiana state taxes. But what higher income white family would send their kids to those Gary schools??? Zero. Not even the most ardent blm loving liberal would do that!
The new mayor wants to tear down the old abandoned schools. It looks like that would just be a start.
I'm working on a documentary about Gary. Would you be interested in granting permission for use? I have a budget for such items.
timgaffney714@yahoo
@Stacy Doose Mmm...contact city hall/official?! (As with any city)
How is your story going? I was a fireman in Gary from early 90s till 2014 I watched it burn so sad very sad I have so many stories i could tell, feel free to contact me.
firemantoney we’re shopping it around as we’re nearly finished. It’s a sad sad story
@@caverstacy will you be releasing it on TH-cam? I’d love to see it if possible.
Are some of those fires from the 1968 riots?
Maybe some of them are. But there was an arsonist in the late 90's i think that set fire to many buildings on Broadway.
Funny how no one talks about the GIANT elephant in the room. Poverty didn't cause the destruction of Gary, people did. Look at any one of the surrounding towns and you will not see burned out buildings by the dozen, abandoned mansions, and just general filth. At one time they were all dependent on the same industry as Gary. And when those jobs left, the people there found other work, or created their own businesses. The difference? Gary was a chocolate city. And they did what they almost always do when they gain control of a city; they looted it then burned it down.
I lived as a painter and a welder 35 miles east of Gary. When my job shut down,I drove 30 more miles east to work again. Do what you need to take care of your family and home, and food.
And some how I still miss you, be there next week GI, stay Dangerous.
A gangstas paradise
It's sad to see so much decay and destruction. Maybe it's time to stop blowing trillions on senseless wars and take that money and fix what's wrong here in America.
This happened after a war?
The music makes me think I'm about to watch some old time 70's sitcom.
Movin' on up!!!!!!
@@agentorange2554 Lol exactly
i was born and raised in Gary and i love this place so much
Kinda ironic how it lands at The Child Services office.
Looks like a real Democratic Town
What is that even supposed to mean? Isn't NYC a democratic city? Boston?? 😂
No! Its the U.S. selling out to overseas companies. 2. Building prisons was more important than saving and investing in schools and businesses. 3. Systematic racism. 4. Ignorance!
@Kenneth Schauer the state is run by Republikkkans and they don't seem like they are willing to give any help. Also, how did democrats ruin it? You conservative dumbasses just say DeMoCrAtS rUiN cItIeS and never say how lol.
You know it!
@waynemitchell1543 Looks like a really idiotic commenter.
Some fresh footage is in order, the downtown area has changed significantly in recent years...
Instead of building prisons, build business.
Its kinda like chernobyl
😎
that state needs legal weed bad.
All the tartarian buildings
America iley oru gramam Gary
Too musich!
You have just witnessed the end result of liberalism.
@johnkoval1898 How the hell is liberalism to blame for the collapse of the U.S. steel industry?
@@roberthill799
Liberalism is to blame for the collapse of cities. US Steel in Gary is still operating to this day.
It looks like a 3rd world city
Gary is now a third world city.
Trickle down economics!
That's what happens when your manufacturing gets done over seas
Wtf is this music
The Grimey County tax Assessor owns a lot of salvage materials and the land. Can they afford to demo it and sell the land? Hell No not nowadays!😄
can some one please put some graffiti on those buildings
OMG! How could sick psychopaths destroy this city by scaring inhabitants with arson? I came here just to see how my favorite singer Michael Jackson's hometown look like and this is what I see. If only God is willing and I'd become mayor to this place, I shall rebuild this seemingly beautiful place and bring the Filipino style of governance and make this a vibrant, safe and prosperous city again. It's just a matter of political and police power enforcement to discipline outlawed individuals...LOL!
lol right on
I'm going to throw in an optimistic prediction that Gary will totally reinvent itself and be a thriving community in the next ten to fifteen years.
Your comment was 3 years ago. Seen any change yet? Emerson had its roof burned off last week.😮
Why are people afraid to live in gary
Research some crime stats. You will quickly see.
@@davep2103 EXACTLY
Rebeca some people are scared to live here some are not, everything is going to be ok, with the condos, $200,000 and up homes and newly built schools new houses they building and the new baseball stadium they built some years back, it's very nice also, but people already invested in Gary and they have knocked down a lot of old abandon buildings oh and they built a center for the veterans.
@@how-shoes5715 Thank you, it was planned a long time ago to let Gary fall, but I know what's on it's way , we have the beach front million dollar homes, 20 minutes away from downtown Chicago This is prime land, they didn't build that baseball stadium for nothing , do you live here currently or use to?
Have you spent time there?
