Michigan City: A town on the move Today's impulse is to dispense with the old and bring in the new. Michigan City followed this pattern. For a small town, it already had a lot to offer-approximately 80 restaurants, 4 movie theaters, 3 playhouses, 2 bowling alleys, a skating rink, YMCA, 200 and access to the Dunes State Park and National Lakeshore. Concerned citizens added to the ad- vancement of the city. One project started in the Bicentennial year was an amphitheater to be located in Washington Park as a home for the Municipal Band as well as choral groups, plays, dance JR 3! The Pullman-Standard stacks, once part of a thriving railroad business, were finally demol- ishedl New apartment complexes added to the city's southward expansion. performances, variety shows and art exhibitions. The approximate cost of the structure, as designed by local architects, was $100,000. Other attractions included the Sinai Forum, which featured Dr. Benjamin Spock, Liz Carpenter and other world recognized speakers, and the Community Concerts Association, which brought talented performers from all over the world. Throughout the city, much construction tobk place. The new library neared completion in the North End while the boonies were built up with apartment complexes and additions to the fairly new Dunes Plaza. While new buildings were being constructed, at least one historic landmark bowed to time. The Pullman Standard smokestacks stood towering for nearly 70 years. The 200 foot stacks, all that remained after a fire destroyed the closed factory, were finally torn down. Another landmark, the South Shore Railroad Line, had provided transportation since 1908. Now it remains the last of its kind and is threatened with being discontinued. Michigan City continues to be an expanding and changing community.
