    Wow, you are so right and said so much with three words. It's hard to believe but we used to manufacture things here. Now we design web pages.

  • 4:51 how many 300 gallon tanks do you have to drop in like that to get the holes on top that perfect? Thousands.

  • @GEDBridgeport better  ... I miss the old world order

  • @mikestrat56 so do i man...so do i

  • The 50,s were so cool !!!

  • @dipslover Not exactly. They had a black enamal tar like paint. But they did rust out a few years later. I worked for Meenan Oil and used to hand dig the tanks out in the 70's as not to distrub the lawn.

  • A few small corrections.I grew up in Ltown. The land Leavittown was built on was not swamp and scrub brush but prime farm land. Some of the best soil anywhere in Bucks Co. The slabs the houses were built on had heating systems built in. The floor heat worked well until your house settled then the slab cracked and no more heat. Most Ltown homes now have baseboard heat. All in all it was a good place to grow up in the fifties and sixties. Now it is run down and over built and jammed with traffic

  • Very nice video. Some nice history here when times obviously were simpler.

  • i live in l-town
