I WAS BORN AND GREW UP ON CLAY STREET JUST A COUPLE OF HOUSES DOWN FROM THE HARTE & CO. NO ONE I KNOW THAT LIVED ON THAT BLOCK HAS HAD ANY PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THAT FACTORY. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS A PROBLEM WAS WHEN MY MOTHER AND OUR NEIGHBORS HUNG THERE CLOTHES OUT IN THE BACK YARD THE SMOKE FROM THE FACTORY WOULD MAKE OUR CLOTHES SMELL. THAT WAS A VERY LONG TIME AGO. I DONT THINK PEOPLE HANG THERE CLOTHES OUTSIDE ANYMORE!
