And those are seasoned steelworkers, usually with years under their belt. A photographer runs the risk of being squashed or burned, or both.<br /> Maybe you can talk to someone? Have a guide. They're not big on publiciy though, because they've received so much of it. Maybe if they see your work?<br /><br />Larry<br />NoSpamldittoecom@comcast.net<br />(Eliminate NoSpam to email)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180214205361596444.post-86634023522079581602011-03-11T08:04:59.130-06:002011-03-11T08:04:59.130-06:00To Nikki - Inland Steel became Ispat Steel which i...To Nikki - Inland Steel became Ispat Steel which is now Arcelor-Mittal, sometimes just called Mittal Steel. It is not located in Gary, but just west in East Chicago, mostly built on a peninsula created of landfill jutting out into the lake. The peninsula is easily visible on maps and aerial photos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180214205361596444.post-31546245098911296742010-11-04T02:14:38.574-05:002010-11-04T02:14:38.574-05:00Hi.

I used to live on the corner of 163rd and Price St.,Cal City,ILL.I'm in Kalifornia, but for whatever reasons, I want to come back home after 30 years. I still miss my friends and good ol' girls after all this time. What is it like now and are there "any" kind of jobs for an almost 60 year old guy in good health? Semi skilled tech or industrial. Thanx, help me get out of this freakin' commie pinko, nut job minimum security, bankrupt state!Ed Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199818275771711367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180214205361596444.post-7180429028039694582010-09-12T12:17:43.040-05:002010-09-12T12:17:43.040-05:00View of Cline Ave in September 2010:

Had a surprise and saw the bridge was closed. For good! This turned out better for me, as I was able to do the shoot as a pedestrian vs. the expectation to have to be a traffic hazard. Then I get home and see your page. Don't feel quite so original now but will be able to compare my take to yours when the film's developed.... Did the Skyway too plus the state line monument. Great minds must think alike. Too bad I can't readily put my fingers on the slides I got while <i>walking</i> the Skyway years ago, pre 9-11.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180214205361596444.post-31074962467069603052009-10-07T11:11:14.564-05:002009-10-07T11:11:14.564-05:00I just drove on Kline Avenue a week ago - it had b...I just drove on Kline Avenue a week ago - it had been years and I'd forgotten how much fun it is to be on a skyway over and above the steel mills there. <br /><br />I need to make a pilgrimage to the model workers community that is nearby as well.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09521087926470872928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180214205361596444.post-64146730501119600932009-09-02T13:05:23.126-05:002009-09-02T13:05:23.126-05:00Great pics!

My grandfather built our home there in the 1940's. I graduated in 1974 from G.R. Clark High School in between Hammond and Whiting and spent our weekends from May 1 through September 30 on the nearby beaches of the Indiana Dunes. My mother was a nurse at the medical department of US Steel, my father-in-law worked in what was called Bethlehem Steel -- these amazingly enduring neighborhoods are still home to many family and friends there. I am in landlocked Iowa now -- the beaches of Lake Michigan are a impossible act to follow! Thanks for the walk down memory lane.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367845212240550292noreply@blogger.com
