You're dreaming that downtown area will never be the same I used to go down there when I was a kid and hang out there was all sorts of stories to go into you're going to have to rebuild it back up like that and do businesses want to go there I doubt it because everything's on the internet now

That downtown Hammond is never coming back. All they can do is make it more up to today's standards and that bar is pretty low.
HMD!!!
That's the matter how nice it's gonna bring.Once people from Illinois start living in Indiana, things will get worse.The hood will be in your back door
Grew up in Hammond. Too many mistakes made there over the years. Buildings demolished that should have been saved. No incentives for businesses to stay. The master plan is a start, but a lot of other things will have to happen to make downtown Hammond viable again…

A main thing they need to do is to finally build over-or-underpasses to EVERY street that runs across the train tracks. The trains are ever-present and interminably long. Who wants to go downtown if you're always hit with a 45 minute wait for a train to pass in order to leave?
Hammond had a thriving downtown and people stopped going there anyway for whatever reasons. Is this noble effort really going to bring a lot of them back? It could be a huge waste of precious resources.

Many stopped going because of the downtown area being constantly gridlocked by train traffic and no parking. They finally built an elevated parking garage but it was about three decades too late.

People stopped going there because of the advent of the shopping mall. Now we have internet shopping which is a hammer blow to the shopping mall. This effort is the least noble and a waste of resources. I wonder how much money was paid to this development firm to dream up this "master plan"???

@@QAlba1074 it’s probably best not knowing, the more you become aware of the waste, mismanagement, grift and so forth the worse the entire picture becomes, leading to sleepless nights and indigestion.
Yeah, city still looks like crap, so none of this happened.
