Dropping by '2300 Jackson Street' (Michael Jackson's Childhood Home) in ...

Me and Rizz had an assignment today at Gary, Indiana. Locals told us that 2300 Jackson Street (a/k/a Michael Jackson's Childhood Home) was just about a mile away from where we were working (at Family Dollar). Afterwards, we decided to proceed to that address and found the small house that once sheltered all the Jacksons (before they left for CA during the middle of the Jackson 5's fame). Today marks our first-ever visit to the place. Nearby is Roosevelt High School in which the Jackson 5 first entered a talent contest which led to their claim-to-fame in Motown. In the middle of a decaying, blighted neighborhood - at least their home still stands out for the world to see and realizing where the dream began. I am very happy to have made it here. It took years to make it happen - and it finally came to be.
