You gotta read this.
I saw this place in 1969.
It was next to the Twins Drive in theater in Indianapolis.
I didn't know what it was back then.
I thought it was a steel mill.

Sen-sen confection. They tasted like soap and licorice, but I was hooked on them.
I bought a bunch of the packets years ago for about $1.00 each.
The company went out of business in 2013, and I still have 3 packets. Just checked ebay; a single packet today sells for $35.00-50.00 a PIECE !!
Couldn't really get into that phase of Joel's material, but I first head about Sen-Sen when I was in a production of The Music Man.
~2:52 in this clip from the movie:
Draglines! I guess these are on the decline. I had never seen one until I was driving through rural Walker County, Alabama. The size of this thing was unreal. I was curious and found someone had made a drone video of it. Notice how small the highway next to it is.
That's *not* an FM radio. Do you know why 640 and 1240 are marked differently?
They are used around here (Michigan) for digging ponds for cattle. But not a lot.
Back in the early 80s, I lived in western Kentucky, and worked construction on a power plant that was adjacent to the largest strip mine east of the Mississippi (or so we were told). Driving around the site, we came upon one of these humongous monster draglines, apparently abandoned, in a remote corner of the mine. These were the huge electric versions, with an electric motor that was the size of a house. The entire machine was size of a 3-4 story building. We learned that when that area was mined out, it was cheaper just to leave it behind and build a new dragline at the new location, rather than trying to disassemble and move the old one. They did remove most of the copper from the motor and some other salvageable parts, but for the most part it was just left to rust away.
