Gary, Indiana, located in the heart of the Rust Belt, is a city in need of a makeover. Once a thriving steel town, Gary is now a shadow of its former self, with a downtown that is largely abandoned and a high crime rate. But there is still some charm to be found in Gary, especially if you know where to look. The city’s lakeshore location is stunning, and its Art Deco architecture is some of the most beautiful in the Midwest. There are also a few cultural attractions, including the Museum of African American History and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. And, of course, there are the city’s famous steel mills, which offer a unique glimpse into America’s industrial past.
