AmericaJR.com's Gloria and Jerome Rzucidlo
were LIVE at 2300 Jackson Street in Gary,
Indiana, also known as the address of Michael
Jackson's childhood home. It is a small, square
ranch house in a Chicago suburb on Lake Michigan.
Michael was born on Aug. 28, 1959 and was
the seventh child to join the family. Joe
Jackson turned his sons into performers in
this Gary home. The mayor of Gary, Ind. thought
about having Jackson's body buried here. But
that didn't happen. There are no billboards
or signs in northern Indiana pointing to the
childhood home. Hundreds of fans left messages
on a wall in rememberance of MJ.
