Glad that you guys completed purchase with so much time to spare.<br /><br />Grimm makes me laugh, as so many of the locations are places I've worked on over the years.

Not as ideal as the site still being used for power generation, but it was well-appreciated by the crew as a stunning and powerful facility, and will hopefully continue to help us build interest in its ongoing preservation and creative re-programming.<br /><br />Jeff Joslin<br />Powerhouse Re Gen llcUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403771641419640954noreply@blogger.com
