He doesn't even have to drive through downtown Gary. There is an Indiana Toll road entrance ramp right at the front gate (Broadway entrance) of US Steel that he can get on and run it straight to the Portage exit (Willowcreek Road exit).

He'd have more fun and spend less time and gas just going to Chicago. I say this as an Indy resident of 19 years.

Well I knew Gary was basically a shit hole, but didn't expect to hear this much terrible things about it. Either way, I'm going. I was already planning on getting a gun (see I want to buy a handgun - 9mm). I don't think they'll actually have me live IN gary, but probably fairly close. They said about 25mins away from the plant.

We accidentally got off at the wrong exit on the way to South Bend one time and wound up in Gary. It was a scary-looking place, and that was at 10 AM :D

Somebody should at least set up a donation page so we can get this kid a bulletproof vest.

Maybe Tallbill can send one over from Iraq, sounds like the OP has greater need of it than the troops will.;)
