The Gary Works was always the big dog on the block, but 50 - 70 years ago, the Chicago/East Chicago/Gary corner of Lake Michigan was replete with steel mills: Wisconsin Steel, Inland Steel, US Steel South Works, Acme Steel and Inland Steel are the ones I remember - and they’re long gone. Good to see that the Gary Works is still going strong.
