Yeah but what are they going to do with all those old factories and plants??? Seems like there may be some opportunity somehow though the industries are gone. Maybe turn 'em into museums of sorts?
There has been talk about turning that breaker into some sort of museum type thing.It is one of the largest breakers ever built in the country,and one of the few remaining in Pennsylvania.Blue Coal, I guess was a pretty popular brand of coal and was heavilly marketed in the Northeastern U..S. Some of the older Jubbers may remember the radio program ''The Shadow",well Blue Coal used to sponsor it.Here's one of the old corny radio ads..http://www.oldtimeradiofans.com/old_radio_commercials/Blue_Coal.php
It would take millions of dollars to get the place in any kind of reasonably safe condition.The money just isn't there.Not from private foundations interested in preserving it,nor from the state or federal government,especially not now.
Myself, while I'm no engineer,I think the place may be too far gone to do much of anything with.All over the building,many key structural supports are giving way and the floors are collapsing onto eachother.
The owner of the property is considering offers to sell off the place for scrap.It's said to have very high grade steel in it,and lots of it.
Very nice place Knucklehead.
You guys are awesome. I love you two.
The LOVE machine? Is there a reason why it's called that?
And Swerve: nice camera work BUT you didn't focus on Knuckelhead's ass when you were walking upstairs.![]()
Thanks Elvin.I kinda like it here.I kinda like it out here.
About the car,"the love machine" is a good name for it.What the hell else would you call a rusted out antique Chevy that just wont die..
I'm not gonna venture into where Ted should have been filming..lol
Then I shall wait.
