I don't like to make much information about myself available online, but I will say that you can find a lot of those where I used to live as a young child. Most of the city lived in the shadow of the economic collapse of Bethlehem and some parts still do. It was a rusty, salty shithole.
Seeing the skeleton of the industry that was the very economic foundation of the Rust-belt and the city laid out in a display for a corpo-festival (looks like) is quite hollowing in a way that can't be described. Imagine the greatest pieces of Soviet industry laid out at a rave for rich, older adults, best comparison and I don't even think that's quite apt as much of Soviet industry survived. That era is long-gone in the U.S.
I can't say I mourn it either. Bethlehem piled slag feet deep on the bottom of Lake Erie, near-irreparably destroying the environment as any mediation efforts will disturb the literal tons of slag and toxic materials at the bottom of the lake. They also hung thousands of people out to dry with nearly no warning, all for greed as well.
In the wake of one of America's greatest steel industries it left nothing but ruin.
