Buffalo Forge

I walked the same hallowed halls that Mr. Willis Carrier did when he invented the first air-conditioner!  The building was razed in 2006.  I don't know how many were employed at Buffalo Forge in 1982 but I know there were several hundred.  Land being at a premium also made parking a premium as well.  There was a lot right across the street where all the employees parked bumper to bumper.  No getting out at anytime during the day.  At precisely 5 o'clock (or was it 4) every employee would leave the building and go to their car.  Anyone being more than a few minutes late could hold up hundreds trying to leave for home.  This meant....no overtime!!!  Them was the good ole days!
