Hammond, IN
my home town -
2/25/2006I've never lived anywhere else, but have traveled to many U. S. cities. Hammond is an average (okay, maybe less than average city). Housing is affordable, although taxes recently haved just aboout tripled. Jobs are okay,the steel industry was the big employer in the 60's, 70's, early 80's, but that has changed considerably. I'm employed at a hospital where the pay is decent. One perk about Hammond is that we are next to Chicago. Also, we're on Lake Michigan. There are a good number of cultural activities.
