Yeah, I perused the website at We are RustBuilt, but can someone give me a short description of who they are? Political action group? Who is behind it?


Saw quite a few t-shirts at the Pirate game yesterday with the logo on front.

sheesh, nothing like bringing back an outdated image of the region, that it still is trying to shake from the past century.

At least it's a more positive rust built.

Yes, the attempt to revitalize industry to benefit society within a regional setting is so outdated.

I was commenting on the image that the name conjures up - not what they do. That was pretty clear. Understand what you are replying to, before commenting on it.

"" Image "" is the word that you used. This means many things. Clarification is best made at the time of your initial post.

I took "" image "" to be defined by you as the overall view a individual has concerning what he or she is understanding that to be whether it is a person, place or thing.

See? Your leaning here and that's what truly counts.

The only thing I'm learning is that some people don't know the basic meaning of words and phrases.

I looked around on their site and at their sponsors. It looks like it's an initiative created by some startup guys to promote the startup culture and entrepreneurship in rust belt cities. Currently that mostly means high-tech, usually software-based companies.

I don't see anything nefarious about it, to me it looks like a good idea and a potentially pretty positive idea. The cooler and more welcoming to tech this area seems the more young folks will move in.
