Tectonic Shift

From: Shift Change

$2.50

This chapter describes Hamilton as it once was: foundries belching iron oxide into the atmosphere, traffic jams driven by shift changes at factories, and workers toiling at all hours of the day and night. As the steel industry declined in the 1980s, many years of decay followed, but unlike some places in America’s Rust Belt, in Hamilton there is a definite sense of looking forward rather than back.
