Since Michael Jackson's death his hometown, Gary, Indiana, has garnered more attention outside of the daily police blotter. There's always been stifled debate about turning the Jackson 5 home on 2300 Jackson Street into a proper tourist attraction but too, too many mice and no balls means the cat never gets her bell necklace.
More than anything else, local resentment of the family's fame and success killed the trip to the historical registry...and we all know Gary knows killing. Even the city's historical society skims over the Rock&Roll Hall of Famers.
But now da Mayor Pink Panther is all abluster about turning the Jackson house into a point of interest. Beating his cuff links to the punch, though, are two entrepreneurial women from Chicago experienced in guided tours who have started the "King of Pop Hometown Tour," a four-hour long bus tour from Chicago through Gary.
Hmmm, now why didn't someone from G.I.! or Lake County think of this...?
