I love outside of Gary Indiana, and yeah it can be dangerous if you look lost or like you have no purpose for being there, but there's also good working people just trying to eke out the same shit living we all are. I hear my mom and sisters say this kind of shit and it's just like. Sigh

Edit; for some fun examples look on any reddit thread about dangerous trips or some shit and people will constantly talk about how badass they were for driving through Gary or St Louis or some shit.

It's not a warzone mayos.

    I've got family that was from that area of Chicago and have gone to visit and never really seemed that bad to me. Now everyone in my immediate family I guess assumes anywhere but up by Wrigley or whatever is just a constant shooting gallery or something.

    Granted I also chuckle when I hear the gangs are moving out to x rural area in the state I live in or somewhere I'm visiting and they act like the entire town overnight is going to become "a bad area"
