The stats are always fun to look at, then go down Liberty Street, now, then realize what it looked like in 1990. Then think, what areas look like Liberty St in the 90's now. The East side is changing. I was doing the asbestos air monitoring for many of the homes demolished down there. I closed Calvin Coolidge (even pictures of Asbestos sealed in concrete under the boiler room floor at the direction of the architect's, not the asbestos designer), had areas in BHS, EMS, WMS, WW, BF and TR sealed off for asbestos contamination. (Mario did a great job when he took over facilities for the district.) I graduated from BHS, Last class out of the old EMS, born at Lords and now on council in Great Bend and chairman of the sewer authority there. (2015 waste water system of the year, 2023 waste water operator of the year) Don't get me going on the sewer plant over in Vestal, I've done enough work over there and know too many contractors that worked over there in the last 20 years. We did our upgrade in 2009-2013 to the same exact treatment process that the one in Vestal had, that they used until the upgrade to fix the plant. We won an award and they well lawsuit and a new project to fix it. the funny part, the morning of the blow out I had the EPA over at the old Tichner site by the new boys and girls club and he got a call and told me there was a crappy situation at the sewer plant in Vestal. Near the end of the George Harvey Justice building renovation there was also a crappy situation, the sewer line from the courthouse broke in the last area to have asbestos removed. The DEC did not want to deal with it, "asbestos contaminated crap" and the DOL was stuck holding a crappy situation. Then Sherriff Harder, the liability he has caused the county. Deputies watching prisoners removing asbestos, and other hazardous materials when informed prior not to do it.

I went to SUNY-Binghamton- Harper College in the late 1970's and early 1980's. I thought it was a nice area back then. I guess things wiht the De-Industrulization of most of Upstate NY and most of the US, things got Worse.

@@HoldenNY22 yea Endicott used to be a great area with tons of companies like the shoe company and IBM but they are gone now and the place has turned into the most violent place around.
