Yes, I said Gary, Indiana! :) You may have read my requests for recommendations of things to do in the Gary and Chicago area on Memorial Day weekend. I was scheduled to be in Gary from Friday evening to Sunday evening for wedding activities. I wasn't particularly looking forward to spending my entire holiday weekend in the city that I hear so many negative things about, but I went...
