OverviewExplore the city of yesteryear East Chicago, Indiana, was a melting pot. The Indiana Harbor neighborhood drew comparisons to Ellis Island as immigrants flocked from all over the world to work at its steel mills. Once home to more than a hundred nationalities, the ""Workshop of America"" made metal and many other products. Despite issues like pollution and political corruption, it earned the nickname ""City of Champions,"" winning state titles, sustaining a historic high school rivalry, and producing greats like Gregg Popovich and Junior Bridgeman. Award-winning Region journalist and Lost Hammond author Joseph S. Pete explores bygone landmarks like Washington and Roosevelt High Schools, Inland Steel Christmas parties, the zoo, Taco Joe's, the Mademoiselle Shoppe, movies palaces, the gym where Michael Jordan played his first Bulls game, and more.
