Consider two neighbors, one in Munster IN, one in Lansing IL, literally across the street from one another (they both walk to lunch at Schoop's). How do policing and crime differ for each of them, depending on what side of the line they live on?

Policing - how responsive are the police to residents' concerns? Are they understaffed? Do cases get solved? Do criminals get punished? Or is it catch and release, or maybe not even catch?

Crime - is there a difference in crime rate, type, severity across the State Line.

These are questions from a retired out-of-towner who might want to be back in The Region after decades away. Illinois would not tax my retirement income at all, which might balance out the suck of Illinois property taxes. I'm trying to find quality of life, I guess, wherever I can find it... and flee the hurricanes, Ted Cruz, Ken Paxton, and half the year near 100 degrees. And I pay $12,000 property tax per year in Texas so... not good either.

***A nice treat this weekend! Got a case of the Monday’s I suppose!

Michigan City

Has anyone else been paying attention to what’s gone on in MC over the past 48 hours? Quite a few shootings. Wondering if anyone else thinks it’s connected to last weekend’s post prom shooting.

Five years ago I crashed my car

It was late at night on 30.

I crashed my car in fall of 2021 near the Hop and Stop on 30 and thankfully walked away with no injuries. The ambulance came pretty quickly because bystanders pulled over and called 911 immediately. I denied care and refused to get into the ambulance because I’d had prior experience being billed in the $1000s of dollars for an ambulance ride I didn’t choose. I went to urgent care the next day and I was fine.

But separately, my mother’s middle-aged relative had died within two weeks of a car crash he was in due to an unchecked out capillary either rupture or bleeding or something that the autopsy found later.

Do I now wish I would have gotten into the ambulance? Kind of… idk

TLDR: I had an experience five years ago and am curious about who can relate to the ambulance situation. Feel free to message me privately about it too

From Naperville, IL to either Crown Point or Dyer/Saint John

We are considering relocating to one of the above towns. We are a family of 5 with 3 young boys. Looking for the best town between the 3 to raise a family. My husband would commute daily back into Illinois if that makes a difference. Schools/sports are all really important in the decision for us along with activities available for the kids. What would you all recommend?
