What's going on here? This web site (link below) has pictures of
downtown Gary, Indiana showing it to be completely deserted. No
people, businesses closed and empty, etc.

Gary is about 25 miles from downtown Chicago and has a listed population
of over 100,000.

What happened to the people?

Taking a look at those pictures, I'm not surprised there is no one there. That place looks worse than Manchester!
