Hammond, Indiana, in Lake county Hammond (IPA: [ˈhæ.mənd]) is a city in Lake County, Indiana, United States. It is part of the Chicago metropolitan area. The population was 83,048 at the 2000 census.The first permanent residents arrived around 1847 to settle on land between the Grand and Little Calumet Rivers, on the South end of Lake Michigan. Those first residents were German farmers newly arrived from Europe looking for land and opportunity. Before that time, the area was a crossroad for Indian tribes, explorers, stagecoach lines and supply lines to the West. Convenient location and abundant fresh water from Lake Michigan led to the beginning of Hammond's industrialization in 1869 with the G.H. Hammond Company packing house following merchants and farmers to the area. Hammond was inc... 07/16/2007

After buying $68.00 worth of groceries at our local Strack & Van Til's Grocery, Wednesday, i remembered i hadn't purchased the seasoning i needed.  I asked the cashier if i could leave my full cart parked until i returned with the item.  She directed me to a spot near the service counter.  It took me about 3 minutes to find the aisle, locate the seasoning, and make my way back to the check-outs.  The store was filling up with after-work shoppers looking to grab something for dinner quickly and get out.  Every open check-out lane had long lines, and the 8 items or less lane was not open.  I found a lane that had a few customers waiting, and a half-filled cart in line behind them.  I proceeded to move in front of the unattended cart, and wait my turn for check-out.    Before i could finis... 03/16/2007
