East Coast elites gonna East Coast elite

Laying it on a little thick there, aren't you?

 

I took my favorite photo of my long departed car in Gary:

 

As a college student, I spent a long day slogging around Cowles Bog.
Grimy, sweaty and stinking of insect repellent - we went among the dunes and lakeshore.
I, a proud son of New Jersey, surveiled the people in folding long chairs or laying on towels and proclaimed to one of my classmates: 'The people think they're at the beach!'

 

You should write the Times. They'd probably like to hear from you again.

 

Props to whoever typed the tag "there's more than corn in Indiana"

 

I was right last time.

 

Your car has a tree growing out of it. You should have got that checked out.

 

"They told me it had tons of trunk room!"

 

Dick, do you really think there's no surprise factor in Gary having a travel-worthy beachfront?

It's like if Wichita suddenly developed a major theater scene or a high school in New York City had 15,000 people at a football game. It's odd. It's not what you expect.

 

Also surprised the guy who wrote it is from Illinois.

 

And who the fuck
goes to Indiana for:
a) beaches;
2) vacations;
and
iii) beach vacations?

"Wait, then: I get to stay in Gary?
OK, honey, fuck the Virgin Islands.
Them Hoosiers got a cornfest!"

 

Do you have an atlas handy?
