I don't think we appreciate the Industrial Revolution enough. You hear it over and over again, but you need a global and historic perspective to understand the ludicrously rapid advancements that took place during that time. So much of the foundation of our daily lives began to take shape at the turn of the 20th century.
Europe has ancient cathedrals and medieval castles. America has rusted factories with blown out windows. We don't pay these sites very much attention. I think in part because of the sadness that they hold. These places are reminders of the horrible unregulated working conditions and also the fact that "we used to make shit in this country". Sometimes it's easier to look away until we can stare and realize the significance.
I will soon be re-watching The Wire -
Frank Sobotka: You know what the trouble is, Brucey? We used to make shit in this country, build shit. Now we just put our hand in the next guy's pocket.
Frank Sobotka: For 25 years we've been dying slow down there. Dry docks rusting and piers standing empty. My friends and their kids like we got the cancer. No life line got thrown all that time. Nothing from nobody. And now you want to help us? Help me?
These are factories converted to apartments. They were the companies that started Omaha. they are across from the Durham Museum.
Hunslet, Leeds, West Yorkshire. In 1888, TF Braime started his metal pressing company, and was later joined by JH Braime. After the international success of their oil can, they moved here in 1911, and as well as making parts for the motor car industry, they played an active role in both world wars, making artillery cases in the 1940's. Their factory retains many original features, and have very recently had a significant increase in orders, needing to start a night shift this September.
Completed on: 14th October, 2007

Old Hemp Factory, used to work on water power. It used to make ropes and textile. Before the Second World War Edessa was called "Manchester of the east" because of it's textile industry. The Germans destroyed most of the industry in the war. After the war water power was not important anymore and the industry languished.
Deze hennepfabriek werkte op waterkracht en fabriceerde textiel en touw. Voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd Edessa wel het "Manchester van het oosten" genoemd, vanwege deze industrie (in Nederlandse termen wellicht het Twente van Griekenland). Tijdens de Duitse bezetting werd een flink deel van de stad vernietigd, inclusief de fabrieken. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog nam de betekenis van waterkracht af en de industrie kwijnde weg. De fabriekshal op de foto is deels een café restaurant geworden, in het grootste deel van de fabriekshal staan de oude machines nog (weer?) opgesteld. Het heeft een museale functie en is vrij te bezoeken. Ik vond het een absolute aanrader, maar dat kan je ook wel zien aan de hoeveelheid gemaakte foto's!
the folks at Factory five build some of the neatest Cobra replicas, theyhave a DVD and literature and even offer a build school .

We had the opportunity to tour the local business of Stikwood which is internationally known. Their offices and factory are in South Sacramento, not too far from us. They showed us their reclaimed wood collection, which comes from a variety of sources around the country and world. The best part to see was that they use every piece (even the sawdust collection) to make new things. Stikwood can be printed directly onto, painted, stained, or left natural. It gained popularity with consumers because it is a DIY product that doesn't cost a fortune but it has many commercial applications as well since it can be easily customized.
