Yup. It's sad. You drive around that area and it's just depressing. Syracuse was once an industrial giant. In that particular area, they used to make the NP transfer cases, chrysler transmission, carrier HVAC, John Deere tractors (assembled), GM hubcaps and there was a large china manufacturing operation (plates, etc).
What's ironic is, less than a mile away, on the other side of the I-481, there's a junkyard. The transfer cases left the plant, went around the country to be installed in vehicles ... and they end up in the junkyard a mile away.
Word is - they want to put a shipping container plant in there.
The heecho en mexico transfer cases in the JKs are known for randomly exploding, BTW
