Default Gary, IN
So a few days ago, someone in civil was wondering what was so bad about Gary, Indiana. Well, while reading through some news articles when I logged on, I found out.

Gary, Indiana has the 2nd highest murder rate of any city in the States.

Does that answer your question?

good thing I visited before that place turned to complete crap.

I also just went to Alaska last year, and I just found out it is number 1 for rape in the US.

In Alaska it’s probably a per capita statistic. Either that or they automatically count incest as rape whether it was consented or not.

Gary, Indiana is "the drug capitol" of the state. High murder rate, lots of deadbeats. Its a place that most people try and stay away from. (unfortunatly, i live about two hours away from it....scary thought)

Having just spent two days in the outskirts of lovely Gary, IN....

I give you this travel tip.

Do no exit the highway to enter Gary, IN.
Keep Moving. No Matter What.

<-----Also lives about 2 hours from Gary, IN, but I live even closer to the South side of Chicago, which is even scarrier. xD


And as far as the raping in Alaska goes, it is per capita, just like all our crime statistics. It's due to Alaska's large drinking problem. Alaska isn't really as secluded as you may think.

Gary, Indiana!
What a wonderful name,
Named for Elbert Gary of judiciary fame.
Gary, Indiana, as a Shakespeare would say,
Trips along softly on the tongue this way--
Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
Let me say it once again.
Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
That's the town that "knew me when."
If you'd like to have a logical explanation
How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
I will say without a moment of hesitation
There is just one place
That can light my face.
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but--
Gary, Indiana,
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
My home sweet home.


apparently it's even in a song from the 1962 musical entitled "The Music Man" lol
