I frequently think about investing in property in Gary and I should really think about it. Hopefully if more people do this, Gary can pull itself out of the rut. I occasionally blog about Gary but mostly about things that happen in Indiana as a whole. http://melbelshebel.blogspot.comMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839265801726168074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1133280656565163042005-11-29T11:10:00.000-05:002005-11-29T11:10:00.000-05:00The crime rates have dropped significantly in Gary and throughout Northwest Indiana as compared to the 1990s, according to a report in the Times (nwi.com) on Sunday.<BR/><BR/>The paper examined the FBI uniform crime reports from 1993 to 2003 and found double-digit decreases in crime. Rape was down 48%, assault down 37%, robberies down 42%, burglaries down 31%, and murders down 17%.<BR/><BR/>The economy has improved significantly since the 1990s and has lead to a safer community.C.
