Gary, Indiana!
This is for those who don't know much about the great city of Gary, Indiana.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary%2C_Indiana

a cute song from some little girl
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5_WrThs0k4

lyrics to the song:
Gary, Indiana!
What a wonderful name,
Named for Elbert Gary of judiciary fame.
Gary, Indiana, as a Shakespeare would say,
Trips along softly on the tongue this way--
Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
Let me say it once again.
Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
That's the town that "knew me when."
If you'd like to have a logical explanation
How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
I will say without a moment of hesitation
There is just one place
That can light my face.
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but--
Gary, Indiana,
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
My home sweet home.

With reports that Lake County, which is in Central time and definitely an important part of the Chicago metro area, won't report until 11 PM, I thought I would keep you entertained for a bit. ;)

1. Thank you for that! THE MUSIC MAN is one American musical that
actually has its wits about it.

2. Gary, Indiana?
A large part of massive 1.6 million voter registration cancellations? I wont hold me breath.

4. Thank you Lake County and the rest of Hoosier State!
And of course the Tarheel state too!
