We'd go to Chicago a lot when my family lived in Cincinnati and I remember my brother and I begging my dad to figure out a way to get us there without having to drive through Gary because the smell was terrible. My fuzzy memory of these instances is that one minute, we're driving through cornfields, then all of a sudden we were heading northbound on the Dan Ryan...
