Gary, Indiana (Childhood home of the Jackson 5)
A visit to Michael Jackson's House
Well, Joe could care less if he went here but he knew I really wanted to. We were staying only 20 miles away. Also, Me and Heidi loved the Jackson 5 when we were kids and I just had to go! It's sad that it's just a deserted town now. Many blocks are just empty lots now because all the houses were either burned down or just left to rot. It was once a mecca for America's steel industry in the 1960's but when the industry left Gary, IN it started the decline.
After going to the Jackson House we went to the beach on Lake Michigan for a beautiful day!

| Well I wrote something from me & Heidi on the board that you can't see but it says RIP Michael, With Love, Dori & Heidi LOL! |
Thanks for the fun history! Was Jackson always the street name, and did they get their name from it, or was it changed to that because of the Jackson 5?!
