Thanks! As an economist (and not native-born in the region) I do my best to stay objective and let economic data lead me to conclusions as much as possible.

A book is something I'm interested in doing in the future. A historian colleague and I have discussed maybe doing a kind of economic/historical ethnography to capture interviews with current/former Gary residents that experienced the decline while they're still around and then coupling that with economic data.

I do have a peer-reviewed journal article on the socioeconomic and demographic trends of Northwest Indiana from the 1970s to today that you can download and read for free here, but this focuses more on the entire Northwest Indiana region and barely touches on the tip of the iceberg that is the economic history of the region.

If you're looking for a good data-driven book on the history of Gary you might want to check out The Cost of Being Poor by Sandra L. Barnes (who was born and raised in Gary).

If you want some excellent insight into the current state of manufacturing and union jobs in the United States here are two articles from Ben Casselman (one of my favorite reporters) from when he was with FiveThirtyEight (he's now at the NY Times). They are from during the presidential primaries in 2016 so they are a bit dated but the insight is excellent and still highly relevant:

The Indiana Way is definitely your answer but I’ll throw in a couple more I have.

Fred Cavinder was a longtime reporter/editor for the star and wrote several books about Indiana. I have The Indiana Book of Records, Firsts, and Fascinating Facts. It’s just what it sounds like, a lot of short trivia with some cool pictures.

A very interesting photo book is “The Hoosier Century: 100 Years of Photographs from The Indianapolis Star and News” I can’t seem to find it online but I’m sure libraries would carry it. I’ve found two copies at Goodwill.

> Actually it does! It’s really cool but in forests the trees sort of divide up sections of the sky by which they harvest sunlight. Trees in forests grow exponentially slower than trees in an open field.

You are right they do grow faster. But slow growth is better for trees and the microenvironment that they create. Faster growth leads to weaker/less healthy trees. Source.

Hendricks circuit court is a pretty courtroom. I dont know what the particulars would be of arranging a wedding in any courthouse. Here is a great shopping catalog:

Former Star journalist Dick Caddy wrote a great book of his days at the Star called Deadline: Indianapolis. It mainly focuses on journalism but often gets into the details of how he came about pieces and talks a lot about local political history during the time he covered politics. Indianapolis focused but any one who wants to know more about the power players in this city and/or the state (many named in the book are still active in their respective scenes/political niches, either themselves or their children/widows/etc)

Anything by James H. Madison. He was a history professor of mine at Indiana University and has covered just about everything there is to know on Indiana history (the good and the bad). He just updated his compendium "The Indiana Way". Good luck.

7-8 is really at the very end of the age recommendation for a booster seat unless maybe they are very small. Good luck getting a 7 year old who isn't used to sitting in one to use it. Anyway, there are some that are only about $13, (http://www.amazon.com/Cosco-Juvenile-Side-Booster-Turquoise/dp/B00IP8AEXC/ref=sr_1_5?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1427041059&sr=1-5&keywords=booster+seat) I know they carry them at for around that price at Target, Walmart, etc...

Indiana's education system and IPS specifically is so poor that United almost back out of the deal to make Indianapolis it's headquarters for mechanical repairs because it was having a hard time convincing current employee's to move to an area with a public school system with such a poor record of community support.

I read Citizen Klansman while in college. Its a well written academic book, and I recommend it. It covers how and why Indiana voters elected Klansmen to public office.

I don't mean to come off as "i know a lot of stuff and i don't need your advice," i just don't want to come off as "I have no idea what I am doing, so do not trust me with your data."

Survey fatigue is a real thing psychology and market research has to deal with. If i do not feel confident that my data will be used prudently, then i will not take a survey. I get a lot of my internet ethics from this book. (great read if you are into big data and the dangers of it)

I have not tried the milk stout, but I can ask Sean O'Connor when they are going to tap it. I'll also ask if he knows where Flat12 is being distributed in Bloomington. I've had a lot of luck with finding Flat12 at Kroger or Marsh (can't remember which), so try the craft beer section at those grocery stores sometime. The Flat Jack Pumpkin Ale is in season right meow, so the Milk Stout will be the next one up.

I'm a bit of a "how places got their names" type of guy, so From Needmore to Prosperity: Hoosier Place Names in Folklore and History is one of my favorites. It's more of an encyclopedia of towns and communities and how they came about their names.

Yea, about that...

The mother apparently wrote a book about raising autistic kids. I shudder to think what her idea of nurturing is - but maybe she doesn't neglect/abandon her bio kids, idk.

They're this little alien gun looking things you attach to your car that emit a sound when air passes through them.

u/gobuyastick · 8 pointsr/Indiana

maybe pick up some bear mace instead of a gun?

Their pay isn't shit for such an important job. I don't know who told you that teachers make awesome money, but they don't. You don't understand the nuances of teachers and I have very little sympathy for the business sector. It's also not "cushy" job; you obviously are oblivious to itinerary planning that teachers do. You may only see the 7-4 daily hours that teachers work, but after doing planning, grading (my wife teaches English, so it's not just dropping a Scantron into a machine), teaching is closer to an 80 hour/week job. Try grading 150 essays a week. Not so cushy, especially when the kids aren't writing well. Along with pay for my wife being 36K/year while supporting two kids and myself in Masters, I still fail to see the "cushy" part of it. You do need to learn more about the real side of teaching: the stark statistics of retention of teachers alone is grim.

Since we're not going to agree and obviously not going to sway each other on this issue, I will also offer this is a perspective that is a "safer" conservative view that may be more within your opinion: http://www.amazon.com/History-American-People-Paul-Johnson/dp/0060930349. This was recommended by an aquaintence who has a PhD in history and is a college professor. The idea of a Brit writing a conservative history is a little ironic, but I didn't run away from this book, which I ended up using in a pre-Antebellum American report about the Revolutionary War from a conservative perspective.
