Ameristar Casino Hotel East Chicago, INSANE (guest) wrote 15 years ago:

Who would go to a "resort" in the middle of this catastrophically polluted, post apocalyptic industrial slag land? If you've ever ridden the Amtrak through this area and seen what it's actually like, you would know that the idea of a resort here is completely bizarre. Aside from, I don't know, Chernobyl, this area is probably the greatest ecological disaster area in the world. Nice place for a holiday (ha ha ha).
