WELCOME
Listen. We know our communities are blighted. We also know and have known for some time now that some parts of our administration/departments of Gary are a mess. To add insult to injury, this chaos did not just start. We know this mess has existed for a long time now. Not to mention, our black economy is shitty as hell, and it goes without saying that some of our neighbors are shady as hell.
Too much is going on. But!, and there will always be a but . . .
But! . . . now take heed
When you are down, the good thing about that is that there is only one way out. That is UP! It took our black ancestors determination to bring us this far, and we have to take it from where they left off. That being said, like our Mayor Jerome Prince says: “Re-imagine Gary”!
We may be down, but!!!! and remember I said but! because “but” isn’t permanent…. but!!! we may be down, BUT!!! we are not defeated, and we are coming up.
As a predominately black community, we have to drain our own swamp. We each have to play a part in pulling up.
Like our Mayor Jerome Prince says: “Reimagine Gary”
WELCOME TO GARY a/k/a "CHOCOLATE CITY"
Please join Garyside, and all Garyians in making Gary become a voice, and not an echo.
