I went to College in Ithaca NY.  I got a film degree there.  Many of our films were shot in the Old Ithaca Gun Works.  I was doing some research for the comic the other day when I discovered that it was all torn down in 2004.  They're building condos there now.  The only thing left is the old smoke stack.  It's a piece of both firearms history and my own personal history gone.  It's made me really want an old Ithaca Shotgun; one made prior to 1978 when they shut down the Ithaca Facory and changed the design and moved the production.  I'm not even a shotgun guy.  I just feel like I need one to remind me of that part of my own past.
