Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A book of what once was; and is no more.By Robert L. FolknerIt wasnt that long ago that I thought that Gary might not be in very bad shape; and I was right-- if Id said that 50-60 years ago! Once one of Americas prosperous; premier cities; the collapse of the steel industry on which it was built sounded the death knell. "White flight" played a part in it; but it was the loss of 90% of the mill jobs that really wiped the city out financially (I read today that the company is closing its coke production facilities soon; which will mean 300 more jobs.)The book traces the city from its origins to the demise of much of it; including practically all of the businesses on Broadway and the way in which important; monumental structures have been left empty and left to crumble (Emerson and Horace Mann High among them.) Beyond the architecture shown in its prime in the book; I like to contemplate the people we see in the photos. Normal; average; everyday folks going about their business-- and with no knowledge of the disaster to come.The book is excellent in all respects; and I highly recommend it for anyone interested.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Gary; IN: Extremely sad and unbelievable pics but trueBy danmanI was born in Gary in 1948 and lived there until I moved away in 1970. I grew up on the East side; near Buffington Park; living there from about 1950 until 1961. After going through the pictures of this book and then looking at some current pictures of Gary online; I am shocked; sad and disappointed at the condition of the city. How can so much destruction happen in such a short amount of time... short relative to the ruins I see. Pictures of the Memorial Auditorium and the once gorgeous Methodist church look more like ancient Roman or Greek ruins that took eons to get that way. My house is gone; replaced by nothing. So much has been destroyed; replaced by nothing but violence and danger. Im glad I bought the book but what a heartbreak it brought with it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A treat for manyBy CustomerI purchased 4 books about Gary; IN for an elderly male who lives in an Assisted Living facility. Many of the residents are from this area and the books were a treat for all.
