Downtown Gary: Millrats, Politics & Us Steel (Images Of America)

In blue-collar industrial Gary, Indiana, downtown was the social, cultural, and political center of the community. From the 1920s through the 1960s, people flocked to the stores, theaters and restaurants. The Trafnys provide a glimpse not only of the stores of yesteryear but also the politics, churches, schools, and of course, United States Steel Corporation and the millrats. -- adapted from back cover
