In Today's Explore, we're in Gary, Indiana, venturing inside the ruins left behind by the city's hardship. From Magic city to murder capital, you don't want to be out here during nightfall. Over the next few episodes, we will go deep inside Gary, Indiana's decaying city, and explore some of the worst places you have ever seen. First, we explore Lew Wallace high school. Established in 1926 and closed in 2014. Then we venture inside an abandoned animal hospital frozen in time, a decaying chop shop with interesting custom cars left behind, a Historic city church, and we even get to explore inside Michael Jackson's old high school. And that's just the tip of the ice burg. This city is so abandoned that it would take years to explore the entire city. In the next few episodes, I'll be teaming up with decayingmidwest, and we would like you to join us so we can all explore what's left of Gary, Indiana.

My Dad was a student, then a teacher, and ultimately the Principal of Lew Wallace.

The Vorwalds lived on Johnson Street, just south of 45th Avenue, right?

School is now gone, torn down and now an empty field, class of 1975, left Gary in 1978 for Michigan and never looked back !

I went to Lew Wallace School from kindergarten through high school. The best teacher I ever had at Lew Wallace was also the best teacher my mother ever had. This teacher taught for 46 years. I think that twice I was playing basketball in the evening in the second floor gym and went up to her room on the third floor. This was in her 42nd year of teaching. She was busy making her plans for the next day. My mother may have taken algebra in her freshman year. I took analytic geometry and trigonometry in my senior year. Smiling was not one of this teacher's major strengths, but I think she was pleased when several of us got her a huge corsage at the end of the school year.

I think Gary will come back, but not like it was in the past. The town is being demolished little by little leaving huge chunks of vacant land. One day the land will be valuable enough to redevelop.

My mom went to that high school in Gary Indiana in the mid 70s until the 80s and moved to California sad to see Gary Indiana become this way my mom studied medical at that school during her teen years now as she looks back at these memory now it becomes a nightmare to where we go there and see family it's quite miserable and not exciting at all, its sad how its become a former shell of itself now that things are really bad it's quite sad to see buildings like that be ruined and destroyed and tampered with as well, everything inside that building is decaying and rotting away😢

That was my high school. I graduated in 1983. It’s not too bad if you go through in the daytime but night is another story.

which city do you really think is worse.. New Orleans or Gray? I'd figure Orleans.

@RangerRickTV Жыл бұрын

Gary

@jeee1074 Жыл бұрын

New Orleans has a lot of life and tourism. New Orleans can be dangerous, but there is a lot of good to be found in the city. New Orleans is a much better city in comparison to Gary.
