I had a coworker “trick” me into spending a weekend there. He originally told me it was an event in Chicago. Only when we got closer did he say it was actually out in Gary at the dunes.

It was actually a great time. The neighborhood by the dunes was very chill. Bunch of old steelworkers vacation homes they probably bought for 20k in the 70s

The Turkish guy we were with was amazed/creeped out by the beach being literally in between two massive factories. The Walmart trip into town was more like the Gary everyone knows. Fucking brutal. And I grew up in St. Louis so am no stranger to blight. But the sheer scale of it over there was something else.
