I'd love to see that actually.

When I was kid growing up in Brooklyn NY, it was very industrialized. I loved going down to the piers and watching the ships, trucks, derricks and cranes working by the smelting plants, or the Domino Sugar factory, the Schaefer Brewery or the Pepsi plant, and watching the freight trains going right down the streets dropping off rail cars. It was exciting to me, and early on I knew I wanted to be a part of it. Well, Brooklyn has changed alot and sadly, we no longer build anything here anymore. Nothing but hipsters in coffee shops living in condo's now. Very sterile, bland and boring. God only knows how they make a living!
