In The Shadow of Chicago: The B-Sides

All week long we've been sharing our photos of sites and sights we saw during our recent weekend tour of Southeast Chicago and Northwest Indiana. On Monday, we showed you the Gary, Indiana Public Schools Memorial Auditorium; on Tuesday, scenes from the Marktown Historic District; and yesterday, the cavernous insides of the abandoned City Methodist Church in Gary. We wrap up our series with a collection of miscellaneous shots from our adventures: A shot of the entrance to the "Heartbreaking Park of Staggering Greenness" that is southeast Chicago's Eggers Grove (pictured); the St. Simeon Mirotocivi Serbian Orthodox Church at 3535 E. 114th St.; the mound of salt that will one day end up decimated and dispersed on our city's icy streets; the Chinese restaurant in downtown Gary that had both "Grand Opening" and "For Sale" signs in its window; the Palace Theater across the street; a little bird that was hanging out at the Indiana Dunes; and some signs we spotted along the way.

We encourage you to take your own photo tours of Gary, Marktown, and points in between. Post your findings at the Chicagoist Flickr Group.
