Yeah again this was just a speculative brainstorming session. I don't think the city is 100% a lost cause.

I am not saying the city is a lost cause. It used to be a huge manufacturing hub when Boston was under threat of being overrun by the Red Coats or when Russian nukes were aimed at it.

The company I work for does lots of business with overseas partners. We pay over 25K a month for a postage stamp sized space near the airport. We could get a much larger space in Springfield for 2500 but then we would be paying over 30K in trucking fees.

Do you think it could become an artists hub? Manchester England was a post industrial shithole look at how much good music came out of there.
