Only briefly mentioned but Harwood Cochrane really did a number on old Manchester.

So much he tore down just cause he saw it as an eyesore instead of an opportunity. And now we have these useless parking lots.

Glad to hear that might change soon though

Never heard of this guy until now. Started a trucking company which he eventually sold for $1 billion in the late eighties.

Its mind blowing what he did, acting as an individual. I always wanted to meet him. He was self made billionaire, who never felt like he fit in around Richmond, because he didn't graduate from college.
