I remember visiting our family in the south (Atlanta and Virginia) and BEGGING my parents if we could move. Well, it never happened, but once I became an adult, I moved and have not looked back. Gary will always be home, as long as I have family and friends there I will visit. It’s funny, but once you are away, you really realize how sad and depressing the place really is. I really WISH that things were different because it has potential to be a great city due to its AWESOME location. It’s on the sandy dunes of Lake Michigan and a stone’s throw from one of the best places on earth, Chicago. If through some miracle Gary blossomed into a great city, I would run back home, but until that day comes, I wiil stick to southern living.
