#1 Someone please investigate that ringing noise. It could be a telephone.

#5 It seems there have been several fires lately at warehouses and food processing plants. At what point do we begin to suspect sabotage?

#7 It is a foundry about 20 minutes south of Cleveland. Much of the industry in the state has moved out of the cities into some areas with lots of small medium companies doing good business. Short of other info a foundry accident is not normal but neither is it as unusual as the rash of food processing mishaps.

#8 When I was going to CWRU in the late 70s, the "tank factory" in Cleveland still existed, though it was not operating. "The Flats" was still an old industrial area.

#9 ^^ Used to be called the "tank plant"...was empty for years, and the city tried in vain to get Volkswagen to move in, but VW opted for Mexico.

#10 ^ Funny, I lived in Westmoreland County, PeeAye, growing up, and in New Stanton was the Chrysler plant that the gummint built after the Iacocca era bailout. Chrysler left and VW came in. VW left and Sony came in. Each time, there were "tax breaks," but nothing ever caught on there. Sony actually built a glass plant there to make TV picture tubes right before TVs stopped having picture tubes.

There's a successful industrial park on the other side of RT-119 there, but most of the facility described above is old, empty and falling apart.

#11 ^^ And to pile on, the old Ford plant nearby...so much of it is just gone. Times definitely be a'changin'.

#12 Ref #10; Chrysler bailout was a very controversial issue at the time. Iacocco (name from the past) did a lot
of arm twisting with congresscritters. The loan was paid back in full as I remember it. Chrysler workers would have elected Iacocco emperor of the world after what he did.

#13 He was the Jack Welch of his times. Lately, Welch's rep is taking a beating.

#14 IIRC, Iacocco's rep took a hit as well. I thought he got into some trouble...cocaine?
