1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 When the summer began in June, Hoosier History Live explored offbeat aspects of the corner of the state often called &quot;The Region&quot;. Now that the season is drawing to a close, we will return to Northwest Indiana to delve into a wealth of other sites, existing and bygone, including some in&amp;nbsp;Hammond, one of the largest cities in The Region. Our spotlight will be on one of the tallest of the&amp;nbsp;Indiana Dunes, which was the site of a near-tragedy in 2013; shipwrecks beneath&amp;nbsp;Lake Michigan, and a beloved, bygone department store with a connection to a classic movie. In fact, we will salute another site (a quirky one) in Hammond that pays tribute to the city's link to &quot;A Christmas Story&quot; (1983), the movie based on the writings of&amp;nbsp;Jean Shepherd, who grew up in the city.
