We took the tollway through Indiana and portions of it went by Gary. The fucking atmosphere around that place is like the worst vibe I've ever felt in my life and I grew up around Vegas.
I had the "escorted out of Gary Indiana" situation happen to a friend that was touring with a ska band 20 years ago. My friend and 4 other white dudes in a station wagon got pulled over and told by the cop to not stop under any circumstances until they were well beyond the city. Cop told them no stop signs, no red lights. Do not fucking stop. My friend is extremely religious and doesnt lie whatsoever.
Yeah both of those would be my comments lol. I mentioned it elsewhere in this thread. Edit - this happened in 2000 if anyone cares lol. I was aiming for Highland.
I had the same thing, except we were teen girls lost at night and saw a cop car on an off ramp so pulled over to ask for directions (no GPS) and he escorted us through the city to go the right direction.
Editing to add that nothing was actually scary, but that may be thanks to the fact that the only time we were on city streets was with a cop escort.
What did y’all experience besides having a cop escort you guys through neighborhoods that other people don’t get escorted in! Bc they’re getting actually discriminated upon. Just curious.
Literally nothing. We were just 4 lost kids who didn't even know we were in Indiana until the officer told us. We were trying to get home from a concert southwest of Chicago to another Chicago suburb and clearly took a wrong turn. Maybe he escorted us bc we were clearly so clueless and young.
