Leave it to congress to find ways to shut down America and get the job done in ways that the terrorist could only dream of. Sad that younger people will never see what America looked like in the heyday of jobs and prosperity before congress began enacting all the trade deals that have caused the economic demise of the United States.
Remember to thank your congressmen for moving all the jobs. By the way where are all the jobs that were supposed to be created by free trade? I thought we would all be working for UPS like they told us.
i actually walked in on the filming of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh at this mill. me & a friend hopped a fence and climbed over an elevated train track from the woods at the :26 mark. we thought the place was abandoned but at the :20 mark we saw a table with bottled water on it & a sign that said car chase with an arrow. as we walked more we saw a security guard & he "chased" us off. it sucked because we just wanted pictures of the mill. we snapped a few off real quick so it wasnt a total waste
my grand pap and my great grand pap and uncle all worked in mills most of my family did its kinda sad to see that they took our jobs and gave them to china and other countries that have billions of people in them because they don't no how to use a condom and they need jobs its bull
This is part of the Carrie Furnaces, of which two still remain in Rankin, Pennsylvania. Recently, they were used as 'The Cloud Factory' in the film The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. You might recognize the tallest stack as the one that Cleveland falls in toward the end of the movie if you've seen it.
As of right now I didn't see very much in terms of redeveloping except a pile of sandbags on one of the buildings. And yes skyflyer, it is fenced off and lined with barbed wire
They give tours of this furnace "carrie furnace". I believe you can go to Homesteads main ave and go to the steel heritage building on 8th ave and inquire about it..
I am from Johnstown,I am sure that all the mill workers here would be happy to know that their Industrie is is being turned into a bronze toilet museum.Yes i think everyone will sleep better at night.(NOT)
Its a damn shame to see this. My family had a combined total of 250 years in steelmaking. I'm all for capitalism but its a shame when you eliminate the people who helped you get rich and import shoddy product because its cheaper.
