Life on the Streets of Whiting Featuring Mayor Joe

Ever wonder what makes Whiting successful? Mayor Joe Stahura lays out what makes Whiting wacky, whimsical, and a growing success in this episode of Life on the Streets of Northwest Indiana. “The idea is to go against the norm,” Mayor Stahura began, “We like to poke fun at our heritage.

We have a lot of fun with it.” To read the full article click here http://www.nwindianalife.com/community/recreation/66168-life-on-the-streets-of-whiting-featuring-mayor-joe-stahura
