I suddenly got a horrible feeling that this will be what a lot of this country will look like if we continue the way we are going

Thanks for being so brave and going into the abandoned church! Just unbelievable the state of parts of America! Sad!

As a resident of Indiana, I’ve always had to pass by Gary whenever I went to Chicago. Never been brave enough to actually explore the city. It already looks like a dilapidated ghost town from the outside, but it was kind of crazy to see just how deep it goes.

You can see the sadness in your eyes. It's so depressing. This is how we feel when we go back home. It's hard to visit the remaining loved ones that stayed. They dont notice how bad it is until removing yourself from Gary for a while. It use to be a thriving and beautiful city when I was a child. Very well to do individuals and a very happy place to live

It's always surprising to me how fast a house can fall apart because it is not occupied. As if the roof was thinking "Well...there's nobody living in here, I give up!".

I was one of the 10% white people who grew up in Gary. That was a trip down memory lane. Loved hearing the train again. We grew up right next to that railroad track. We were robbed often, the house was shot at once. Today I live abroad as a missionary in a place that is considered dangerous. I have never felt I was in danger, probably because of where I grew up. My family still lives there.

Thank you for not laughing at this sad city as others do. I can tell that you are a good compassionate human being. What happened to Gary could happen to any town that relies on one employer........... "Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee"

First time viewer from England here...really like your documentary style, and Gary is like nothing I've ever seen. Amazing.
