“As Ithaca continues to grapple with the realities of a history filled with heavy, often irresponsible industry, property owner Wally Diehl, who heads Fall Creek Redevelopment L.L.C., and developer Frost Travis have come up with a plan to reshape and revitalize one of Ithaca’s most infamous environmental disasters.
“When I first moved back into town, I saw the gun factory and I just thought it was a real shame that it wasn’t in productive use of some kind,” Travis said. “My initial thought was ‘Jeez, somebody ought to turn that into loft condominiums.”"

It might be a nice idea, but I can’t imagine too many people lining up to live in a super fund cleanup site that was once the site of uranium testing.

Excerpt from “Rifle For A Woods Loafer” by Francis E. Sell, The American Rifleman, March 1947.

“When a hunter sticks his neck out in selecting his favorite cartridge, he might as well stick it all the way out. The brethren are going to take a crack at him in any event. To start with no rifle and loading has universal application in the game fields. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we will stop looking for that mythical all around rifle. “
