That is Gary Indiana. When Jackson was born there it was a thriving city, but Gary was a city developed by the Steel industry specifically US Steel and it derived is economic dependence on that company. When US Steel moved form Gary due to globalisation, China etc., the city literally collapsed with many of the residents moving away.

It is pretty much a ghost town now with lots of crime. Shame.

FrankNetter:
The King of Pop himself! Mj was born and brought up in those white houses. It was just so ironical that someone as great as MJ grew up in these streets, I saw the school he attended, I saw the place he and his siblings had their first concerts. The sad thing about it all was that as rich as MJ was, his "village" was basically in ruins.

I was in awe at being so close to where someone as great as MJ was born but at the same time, I was sad he didn't do enough to help his neighborhood. In the end, it was a bitter-sweet feeling.

RIP Mj, but you no carry your people along,

We are talking about what's best for readers, you are talking bout what's best for the writer. Frank's creating blog for readers, not for himself so he wants to gain attention of readers. Even top sites (facebook, google, youtube etc...) follow the rules. And one thing about web users is that once they visit your site, they will either want to keep coming back or never want to come back.

Now FrankNetter, as a web designer, I will advice you go with white background. If you want to ship in creativity to the blog, maybe you should add weekly video, interviewing Nigerians (students, H1b holders, PR holders, dual citizens etc...) about their life in America, the challenges they faced and how they got over the challenges. You will have lots of subscribers.

Can't go wrong with this advice!.... what to do to keep readers coming back..... what's different .

Eh?

FrankNetter:


Eh?

I'm telling you
Well, she's ex-military. She was a helicopter maintenance specialist with the Marines, so rigorous exercise is like a second nature to them. She fixes her car herself.
But her stats are still ridiculous.
In other words, she can curl a 25kg bag of rice, and squat THREE 50kg bags of rice.

I just pity any average guy that tries to assault.
