Thanks for the link Jonny! I'm not so bothered by it, but it tends to freak out my 87 year old Mom. Apparently during WWII in Scotland, the bulk of the men were off fighting, so the women, under national service, were put to work at a place called Colville's which was a Scottish Iron and Steel plant (think Rosie the Riveters with a Scottish brogue!). Motherwell was actually known as Steelopolis during the 19th and 20th centuries and thus had their share of air raids since they were a prime target.

I've attached the link here so you can see why she thinks the place in Farmingdale and the one she worked at in Scotland look strangely familiar!

Thanks again!

hi
yes i know what the old abandoned building is between rt 110 and new hiway was.
It was part of Fairchild military aircraft at republic airport. which built fighter jets and operated closed in 1987.
Most of the FAirchild aircraft was where the mall and cinemas now stand.
I used to drive out from Queens in the early 80s to fly out of republic. and seen it operate . It had a long runway across the street where id see newly built jets take off.
