Cool story! That's part of the amazing history of America. We have
something similar in downtown Birmingham called Sloss Furnaces. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Neat!


For my job I often went to foundries...really enjoyed seeing how real
work was done...but glad I did not work there


I drove for a steel supply company and would deliver fasteners and stuff
to Adirondack Steel. It always looked like photos from the '30s.

Now it looks like a state superfund site.
