MICHAEL JACKSON’S HOMETOWN IS NOW A GHOST CITY Gary, Indiana – once a booming steel town and birthplace of Michael Jackson – is now nearly abandoned. After its peak in the mid-20th century, the collapse of the steel industry sent the city into a freefall. By 1993, it held the grim title of murder capital of the U.S, and by 2019, over 30% of homes were empty. Now? Rotting churches, silent schools, and family homes full of memories – all left to decay.
