Description: I’ve been saying this for years, Dundalk will be just fine after Sparrow’s Point shuts down. Case in point with this gentleman, who one of my readers found sleeping on her lawn.
Sure, last year he was probably pulling down $50K at the cold mill, and now he’s homeless, but the people of Dundalk are more than happy to open their lawns to former mill workers in a show of solidarity.
Also, Maryland and Baltimore County are pitching in to provide transition training, where this man can learn how to transition from a solid member of society working towards the progression of the American economy to his new life of constant struggle and destitution where he will learn to weigh the decision of whether his time is best spent on minimum wage or SSI.
I really do like the way the county has handled this entire shutdown process and showed their commitment to the steel mill. I mean it took them almost an entire month before they started talking about razing the mill and redeveloping the waterfront property into condos!
