at the ready

demolition of the historic gorman rupp manufacturing facility on bowman street is underway.
the wastewater facility will remain active.

the early game yesterday was a dud.
me and my battered nik' ventured out that way, and to the old erie tracks area north of the facility, at half time, for a few last shots of the standing building where hundreds of mansfielders, including my late wife, toiled for dozens and dozens of years.
tens of thousands of quality pumps were manufactured in the facility and used throughout the world.
one expects that the huge old mansfield tire columbia curing plant building may remain, and perhaps the nice office building on west 6th st.

presumably, the empty acreage will be more marketable, if that can be said of anything in our area.
