.east chicago, indiana. south shore line train stop.

my wife was born and raised in this northwest corner of indiana. it's an old steel mill town & as you can guess from the name it's really close to chicago. other towns in this area are whiting, hammond & gary (home of michael jackson). if there were no signs telling you just crossed over from illinois to indiana you'd never know you left chicago. I have cousins, aunts & uncles who live in the southeast side of chicago just minutes from northwest indiana. i've been visiting this part of chicago & indiana since I was a kid. i love the grittiness of this area but i guess this picture would say otherwise.
