PS I already lost where I read that first aphorism - I cannot take credit for it.
The politicians gutted the neighborhood my warehouse is Iocated in. Thirty five - Fourty Years ago it wasn't like this. Today it's called an Enterprise Zone. A BS concept that means many of the businesses ave departed.
A business man developer died in a plane crash and all his big business in my neighborhood went poof. Only 2 blocks away was Producto - a manufacturer of die sets that disappeared. Every metal stamping, casting, plastic molding tool I own or have ever seen sits in a die set. Well if the USA is not making tools - there is no need for die sets. Located about 3 block from me was Bridgeport Machines. Their machines built tooling. They helped win WWII. Their name was sold to a foreign entity. Their entire 2 story building was leveled; it's been a vacant gravel lot for over a decade. Guess you really don't need die sets. Wonder Bread had a giant Distribution Building across the street from me. They went belly up and the new owner closed that distribution facility and their Retail Store right behind me. Now just a dozen or so straight job delivery trucks parked overnight. The rigger across from our parking lot disappeared. I'll have to ask John what happened, next time I see him - but he doesn't come here often also.
Lord willing in 2025 I will be completely out of this chit hole dangerous city. Half gone, Half to go.
