      My Step Father and Brother worked there for years, my Brothers was a machinist there, just as my Real Father was, anyway, he almost lost his thumb whilst working a Ford Econoline Van door, had to have microsurgery to repair it! Filled vending machines there, the floor was thick with muck and grease, it was horrible, workers missing a thumb, a finger, 1 eye missing, from injuries on the job. My S-Father told me stories about the jitney drivers screwing around, and the whole machine went down a freight elevator shaft, they drank Gin and Milk (YECK) on the job, I like Gin but NOT in milk, haha, and other crazy stories. Great benefits there, but, it was a dinosaur, the owners didn’t want to invest more money on upgrades, although they opened a new “Phoenix plant” years before shutting it down, damn shame!

    Thank you for doing these videos, abandoned structures have interested me all my life, at one time they were all new, as I am watching this I can picture the many employees , would be really interesting if you could find photos relevant to when the factory was in operation.
    The trees were a real bonus, proves that even though " man " may try - given time " Nature " will survive.
    I thought this was the same building as in the Philly video which was outstanding !

    Can remember driving up Broad Street from city hall to dead end at Cheltenham Avenue back in the early 1960's and asked my dad how come almost every smoke stack along the way had smoke pouring out during the night. Told me that is was great that those numerous factories were running both a day & a night shift producing tons if jobs. Worked at the old Cross Brothers meat Packers plant in Kensington at 3600 N Front St. until they closed 11/79.Great owners Sam Cross & his son Bernie. Can remember driving by Stetson hats that employed 4 or 5,000 people , Schmidt's brewery, SKF, Bud Company, Philco Ford , knitting mills on & around Lehigh Avenue.

    “This video is brought to you by Stephen King and ADHD.” - my brain 😊
    “When an imaginative person gets into mental trouble, the line between seeming and being has a way of disappearing.” - Stephen King, Bag of Bones, p. 87.
    Story Time
    To her the best Saturday morning was a thick paperback and reheated breakfast pizza. She indulged in Bag of Bones this morning before the real adulting got started.
    Eventually, she couldn’t resist the temptation to look up the meaning of “TR,” a localism specific enough to Stephen King’s writing to show up quickly on his fandom page. “Township” and “range,” were the terms used to locate some unincorporated parts of Maine, maybe meant by King to signal the lonelier places in his version of the haunted state - “ok great, now let’s get back to… hey, is that a photo of Stephen King’s house?”
    And so it began. From her giving in to searching “What is TR in Maine?” to clicking down the rabbit hole of images of the front of Stephen King’s house, “the Heart of Bangor,” and then to a link to a video of the house from Z107.3 - a video by none other than Mobile Instinct. ..2!
    Hyperfocus now engaged, she watched and enjoyed the brief commentary before continuing without hesitation to the next recommendation: an abandoned Philly factory. She was now unaware of herself until she saw the faded book and familiar, almost legible title on her screen. She paused the video and tried to get a clearer view for a few moments before Chris confirmed her suspicion: Gerald’s Game. (Except, what did he say, Gerard? That made her giggle.)
    Finally, convicted of yak shaving by the author himself, she remembered how she got to this abandoned place in the middle of a faraway city. She logged off to go back to the story by her side, but not before feeling a shiver run down her spine as she imagined that maybe someone had been in that old factory on some dark and stormy night, turning the pages of that same author’s book in the dim glow of a dying flashlight.
    What a bizarre coincidence. Unless…
