In this video, I explore Gary, which many say is the worst rust belt town in the United States. I show you abandoned factories, homes that have been destroyed, and talk to several interesting people.

The city of Gary should apply for foreign aid.
-
Even the trees look depressed.

You realise how bad it actually is, when suddenly it strikes you that there aren’t even any squatters in the abandoned buildings... (or so it appears). 🙁

People like Nick, and Cash Jordan in New York, are the true journalists now. Thank you sir!

But Ukraine needs a 160 billion dollars for "humanitarian reasons'

Gary would be a great place to film post-apocalypse movies.

The building you refer to as "the projects" is the former Hotel Gary. When my sister was in high school in the late 60s, it was the height of luxury. Her prom was there. By the time I graduated from high school in 1974, it had been converted to senior public housing. The scenes at Gilroy Field almost made me cry. Gary was truly the city of the century. It was created AND destroyed in the 20th century. It's a microcosm of a way of life that's long gone. My dad dropped out of Lew Wallace High School to go fight in WWII. He came back and went to work in the mill. He made a good enough living that we could afford two cars, a summer cottage in Michigan and he paid my way through college, all without my mom needing to earn an income. Sure wish that could be the case now.

I worked for the water company in Gary in the late 1990's. Everyone at work advised do not stop at traffic signals - creates an opportunity for car theft. The water company was sold to France as have most water utilities in the U.S.

She does NOT live in one of the "richest countries in the world" anymore and we haven't been for a long time. We are in the looting the treasury phase of decline...

What's great about Youtube is you see REALITY unlike what the Main Stream Media will show.

I am also a Vet. If I had it I would give this lady money. She is the real AMERICA, God bless and keep her. God bless America

Easy answer...the death of manufacturing killed these old manufacturing hubs. Go to you local Walmart and see where all of their items are manufactured versus where they would have been 40-50 years ago
-
At one time these homes were lovely and loved, children playing in well-kept yards, people proud to be there. So sad.
-
Big shout out to Michelle. Well spoken lady.
-
An economic downturn can be blamed for only part of the problem. Remember that it isn't the buildings that make a slum, it is the PEOPLE. Take a closer look.
-
Even the trees look abandoned and sad.

Not too often i can sit and watch a 51min YouTube video, but it's Nick Johnson so I'm like, "ok".
-
It is so sad also gets me angry how veterans who help the country don’t get not even a little help while every single one crossing the border gets it all, really really fkn sad
-
And we keep sending our money elsewhere. What a shame. I love the way you narrated this. Letting people know what's really going on
