By far the worst city I have driven through.
If not for I-90 and I-94, Gary Indiana would have likely fully fallen off the map.
I'm convinced Pete Buttigieg and his socialist cohorts pushed the "racist infrastructure" filth because they know there's a large call to bypass such toilets as Gary Indiana.
Leave a "business loop" in place but direct the highways around it.
“By far the worst city I have driven through.” If my route planner showed my route to take me through Gary, I would drive a huge circle out-of-the-way if need be to avoid it. I wouldn’t care how much in extra gasoline I had to purchase to avoid that cesspool.
I take it you’ve never been to East St Louis IL.
