Want to manufacture widgets? Buy this Gary, Indiana factory - you can pick it up very reasonably. Patch the roof a bit, and you're good to go! If you're into such things, do an image search for > "urban decay" gary <

>>9682 But he keeps the pesky porkers at bay with his Dr Greenthumb 'sizzalean' screens ;P

>>9666 and you wouldn't know anything about growing crops right? ;)

>>9657 I'm always hearing about drug arrests here in T.H. and the perps are usually from Gary!

Yes, Gary was a major steel manufacturer! It all went downhill with the growing overseas steel producers! Then certain people moved in and turned it into a drug capital!

>>9627 Gary was founded by the US Steel Corporation so it was probably related to that.

Population of Gary probably dropped when this factory closed...wonder what was manufactured here?

They do have the money! But they're too busy spending all their money on insurance for their Ferraries!

>>9619 wow, I would have thought those big teams would have enough money to buy their own stadiums.
But unfortunately that shit happens over here too. Both Feyenoord and PSV (Dutch soccer) have financial problems. The (local-) goverment jumps in to save the day. But they are cutting budget at defence (bye bye tanks and mine hunters) and at medical care (you want medicine? gimme money!!)!

>>9609 It's because we spend all our money on millionaire football, and basketball players to build them new stadiums/arenas to play in! Let them pay for it themselves! Indianapolis just spent several million $ of tax payer money for a new field house for the Pacers! They were crying about how bad their locker room looked! BUT, they can't keep all the libraries open anymore because their isn't any money in the school budget for them!
And the Colts new stadium went WAY OVER cost, and they already had to fix the water system, because the pipes have already rusted out! You can't eat at Indianapolis restaurants because they're all triple taxed now! This is why I don't watch sports!

I'm always stunned by the amount of urban decay in the USA. I guess unlike here in the UK you have enough room to just abandon things and start again elsewhere.

It's all gone downhill since M. Jackson left! :p
