Company Offers Michael Jackson Hometown Tours

Since Michael Jackson's recent death, a Chicago-based tour company is getting attention for their King of Pop Hometown Tour, which takes curiosity seekers on a bus tour of Michael Jackson's hometown, Gary, Indiana. For just $55 a person ($45 for children), you, too, can view the marvels of the one-story home where Jackson was raised as an infant, the corner store where Mrs. Jackson bought bread, and even the steel mill where Michael's father, Joe, worked hard to provide for his family (up until the day the family started providing for him). And they'll even pick you up from select downtown Chicago hotels. Sounds exciting, right? If you're interested in taking a tour of the former homicide capital of the United States, be sure to check out the King of Pop Tours website for more information.
