Whatever happened to Heathkits?.....
This is why we keep cases of 00 buck.
Don’t know, interviewed there back in mid 80s. But I think a whirlpool plant that was there either shut down or relocated to the SW side of Chicago 6-10 years ago
Only thing I know about Benton Harbor is that it’s where all those Heathkits I used to build came from - haven’t seen them advertised in years - surprised they may have lasted as long as the ‘80’s - guess they’re gone now, like the rest of my youth.....
Nearly every concentrated Democrat parasite nest ("city") has an "MLK Blvd".
It is always a good idea to roll up your windows and keep clicking your doorlocks if you see such a street sign.

I was in St. Joe recently at a children’s museum (Curious Kids Museum), with my kids. There was a group of organ-tangs.. I mean day care workers, with a group of about 40 Benton Harlem children. The Day Cary workers encouraged the children to act a fool and make tons of noise and be disruptive, in this tiny little children’s play area, so quietly I left the area.
THEN the workers saw me at the exit area about half an hour later- and were laughing out loud and among themselves about having run me and my kids out of the area..
So I respond with something like, “grow up, and stop annoying people”.. and these women were so stirred up, that I would dare respond to them, that I thought they were going to start a riot.
They were about as educated as a turnip, and as agitated as a group of monkeys at the zoo- and looking for a fight with White-y. They were crass and rude and totally obnoxious, and this was in front of the children they were watching.
Filthy dirty people.
Heathkit's and Cathy's passionate romance was doomed....and by the end of the movie, both were unfortunately deader than doornails.
