This live stream looks over Griffith, a town in Lake County in the northwest corner of Indiana, close to the Illinois border. It is a useful window for anyone curious about the Chicago area's southern suburbs and the flat, industrial-meets-prairie landscape around the southern shore of Lake Michigan.
About Griffith and its setting
Griffith sits on the flat plain south of Lake Michigan, a few kilometres from the Illinois state line and within easy reach of Chicago. The town grew up around the railroad and manufacturing that shaped the region's industrial history, and today it is a residential community tied to the wider Calumet area. Its surroundings are low and open, with marshes, rail corridors and farmland meeting the suburban grid, which gives the area a character quite different from the lakefront.
What to watch and when
The camera is a city view, so the most interesting moments are usually shaped by the weather: low clouds and wind off the lake, sunrise and sunset light across open sky, and changing seasons that alter how green or bare the surroundings look. Daytime offers the clearest picture of traffic and street life, while evenings show how the town is lit. Check the local time shown on this page to know which part of the day you are seeing.
Climate and getting around
Northwest Indiana has a continental climate with warm, humid summers, cold winters and snow, and changeable spring and autumn weather. Late spring and early autumn are generally the most comfortable for being outdoors. Griffith is a short drive from Chicago and its suburbs, and nearby cameras on this site, including Chicago's Willis Tower and Blue Island, let you compare conditions across the wider region.
