Thanks for posting - I like the chimney demolition story.
The factory-on-the-river photo reminded me of where I grew up -
- in a southern Ontario textile region - where the rivers were used
for power - and for industrial waste disposal ..
Can we expect a return to that under The Scary Clown ?
... I sure hope not.

To me it was an amazing find....

Just before I moved in just a few blocks away, it had been a warehouse
that had burned down. Never even knew that it was a factory.


They spent 40 years removing the bricks for re-use...still a few left.
