Gary, Indiana may be the place that lights your face -- not Paris, New York, or Rome. The 1957 Broadway show the Music Man may have put Gary on the map, but this charming city was around long before the legendary musical. Stretching along Lake Michigan, Gary was founded in 1906 and named for Elbert Henry Gary, the founder of a steel plant that helped Gary grow. Situated about 30 miles southeast of Chicago, Gary provides easy access to I-90 for commuters. For those who prefer mass transit, the South Shore Line commuter train to Downtown Chicago is available from Millennium Station. Home to Indiana University Northwest, Gary Chicago International Airport, and a stretch of sandy beach along the lake that will make you glad you chose to rent an apartment in Gary, this terrific Midwest town has even more to offer -- a fantastic downtown filled with shops and restaurants, spectacular parks such as West Beach-Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, a view of the Chicago skyline from across the lake, and gorgeous historic districts. Living here may make you want to hum a tune … luckily, Gary has the perfect song.
