Way back when, when Boeing was cutting way back there was a sign on the way out of Seattle that said "Would the last person out please turn off the lights" LOL

Unique: Has Bristol Meyers Squibb cut back ops in Syracuse yet?

I remeber coming in from Watertown on I-81 and seeing the big empty Candlestick factory that sat vacant for decades!

Bristol is still there, as is Budweiser and a few others, but they're cutting back too.

I think the candle factory moved, but I'm not sure.

The real question is, why the hell would anyone be in Watertown?

Were you at the fort?

Actually I lived above Watertown for a while. My Grandfather owned an Oil Distribution Company in Canton NY. I lived in Canton, Russel and Madrid.

I was born in Cortland NY and consider Deruyter NY my home town.

I also lived in Charlotte and Saratoga while attending Nuclear Power School in West Milton
