The impact on the neighborhood would be devastating,

Back when my grandfather was here, we were the only shop in what was an industrial neighborhood. Now, aside from the auto-body shop around the corner, this has become more commercial and residential.

I live in a neighborhood so bad that you can get shot while getting shot......

For a plant closing of this magnitude, the overall impact is somewhere between traumatic and devastating.

I don't think [the loss] is devastating. It's a tough loss but I think we played hard. For the most part, we played well, especially in the first half.

We can't afford to let our neighborhood regress to what it used to be. I think we can do something much better with that building.
