And Milwaukee was once filled with small and medium sized high grade German and Polish machine shops that were the basis of the city. I don't know whether Cincinatti is still making the famous horizontal milling machines. It's all over.

I recall visiting with a Shell lubes rep in St. Paul in the mid 80s. When American Hoist (they made American cranes and draglines) closed, over one hundred machine shops and related suppliers also went down.
Wisconsin is fortunate to still have Bay Shipbuilding and the Manitowoc Companies. Their products were a lot better than American's and that's why they're still alive.
