GPS dropped us in the middle of Gary Indiana due to a highway closing. It was the middle of the night, it was raining, and the rain was oily due to all the industrial filth. There was almost no one on the roads, just industrial decay everywhere. Big stacks of refineries or whatever burning off excess gasses in pillars of flame.

It felt like Mordor ate Blade Runner and shat out this town.

I cannot really imagine how anyone lives there long term. I would rather be homeless than live in that place I think.
