Those houses (Admiral Row) in the picture third from the end have all fallen into complete ruin and will be demolished later this year.

Wow! Give an honest days work — wish that sign was in our parking lot here at the office.

Got a few who quote the Bible all day long, but cheat the company ’cause work gets in the way of their personal lives.

Do you think hats will come back?

I wonder how americans today would respond to a government demanding a “full days work,” even if it were under the pretense of a war.

I believe hats were fully standard until JFK eschewed them and that was that.

Much like MJ and long, baggy basketball shorts.

Dear Michael,

Hi. After reading this post, I was inspired to comment because my father has worked in the BNY for over 30 years running his own custom metal fabrication shop. His business is called Product and Design and you can check out what we do at productanddesign.com. I highly recommend it.

Also, I don’t know if you’re interested, or if you have ever been exploring in the BNY now, its pretty cool and you can see the exact buildings and machinery (or whats left of it) that is still around today. If you’re interested, I would be happy to meet up and give you a tour/explore the place… while avoiding the mean guards.

Best,
Zeph
