I hear the area is pretty run down, classic "Rust Belt". I understand a part of the old factory has been made into artist studios.

Well, in all fairness, it is Craftsman who envision, design, engineer, and produce those robots (for now)

Steve,

Thanks for sharing. That is fascinating reading material.

I had heard that was the plan but it looks like it happened very recently! Yes, that neighborhood is in pretty poor shape.

I believe very little or nothing is left in Watertown, NY. Watertown ran on water power which I would have liked to have seen. There is a water powered turbine sawmill in Batsto, NJ which is pretty darn Cool.

Batsto .... oh my! I have been there many times in my past younger life. My family use to even canoe in the area. Batsto is definitely a cool place to visit ... or at least it was. Neat houses with some of the old crafts still being done in the village. Iron making and glass making were big industries there. Wonder if that is still true? South Jersey is a whole different environment than farther north. The Pine Barrens are one example. There used to be a number of boat builders in that area.
