Hi Adam, I don't know what the outcome of the investigation was and if any charges were filed. Fast forward to present day, the property is being rebuilt and repurposed by a prominent businessman/developer and will be occupied again in the near future.

Thanks for watching! Have a great day.

Thank you, Mary! It's a timeless building, a remarkable tribute to American manufacturing, and an icon to the Hopedale residents. I'm grateful that I was able to capture it in this timeframe. Hopedale's historian, Dan Malloy has an extensive catalog of Draper documentation and memorabilia, and this video is part of that collection. Enjoy your day, thanks for your comment. Stay safe.

Hello there Fred! I agree, the families that live in town, had relatives and friends that worked there, it means a lot to them to save this memory. I was going to take down the original video of Drapers I did in 2019. I've changed my mind. Keeping it up, and added it to the Old buildings' playlist so people can find it easily on here. It has thousands of views. Merry Christmas to you and yours Fred. Always great to see you here. Stay vigilant, keep warm, be kind. Doug@ the "ranch"

Merry Christmas buddy! All good here, considering the situation with Covid...I've got to catch up on some videos here, have a couple of yours in the cue, haven't had time to watch ....My bad. Work safe my friend Here's to a better 2021 Doug@ the "ranch"

@@lakesideranch - It's all good, Doug. There's just not enough hours in the day. I've got a few other guys in the queue too. Since CZcams stopped email notifications of new vids, they get buried down the list sometimes, unless I happen to be looking at my phone the instant the video is posted. The alert appears on the phone, but doesn't make a sound, so I never know it's there. 1st world problems, lol. Glad everything's good on your end. HEAR HEAR on 2021!

@@SmittySmithsonite You know I love you like a BROTHER my brother! Thanks for the well wishes. I tried doing this one as a Premier, did you get the notice for that?

@@lakesideranch - I did, but it said “premier started 54 minutes ago”. I missed the actual premier. I was just about to shoot you an email on your channel make sure everything was OK. I hadn’t seen you on here in a while. Glad everything‘s good.👍👍🍻

Kids burnt it down and got away with it.

Hey Smitty! Thanks for the look and the holler here, I did spend a little more time on this 1....Was such a great area to film, visited there 3 times for all the footage. Got the legal stuff handled in July for the 107 license, have to play by the rules ya know! Glad you caught the video, hope you watched on your big screen TV with the sound up! Merry Christmas from here to all at your place. Here's to a better 2021. Work safe, keep warm, be kind. Doug@ the "ranch"

Thanks my friend! That little town has suffered immensely as the rest of the country has with this virus. They are a tight community and making the best of things. Normally, they put on several public fundraisers every year. With the Covid-19 restrictions, basically none except the Scarecrow thing. Sad. Thanx for stopping by, always good to hear from you! Merry Christmas to all there. Doug@ the "ranch"

Hey JC! It took appx 16 hours to put that project together. I filmed on different days to get the lighting right, shadows, reflections, etc. with multiple cameras. The twilight shots were the most fun, as you have a 30-minute window, best case to get it right before it's too dark. The Parklands are visited by people from near and far, hiking, bicycle riding, picnics, etc. Very relaxing and very well kept by the town. Draper Corp employed thousands from the area and was the center of Hopedale for centuries until 4 decades ago when they closed down forever. Work safe, enjoy your weekend, best to Mrs JC too. Doug@ the "ranch"

Thank you Fred! Glad you were able to access it, and hopefully, you watched in full 4K UHD (2160) with your headphones! Now that you've subscribed to the channel you will receive a notification from CZcams every time I release a new video. I appreciate you watching, commenting, and sharing with your friends and co-workers! Please keep in touch as we have several more exclusive Hopedale videos in the development stages for 2021. The plans are currently approved by the featured groups and will make for some interesting and educational viewing content.

Hello Bob, Welcome to the Lakesideranch family, I'm glad you joined us! I appreciate your kind words on the video, it was a long wait until it was approved for release but the time finally came last night at 8PM. I hope you're equipped for the very best viewing experience, with 4K Ultra High Definition selected as (2160) desktop set at full screen, sound on, headphones or earbuds are better for crisp Dolby 5.1 surround sound. I appreciate you subscribing, and if you clicked the little bell icon, you'll be notified immediately every time I release a new video. Be aware, if you watch on your smartphone you'll lose 50% of the quality that you get with your PC or laptop. We'll see you on the next 1. Stay safe, RIDE SAFER. Doug@ the "ranch"

Thank you for your kind words, my friend! Was a good time filming that video, had to shelf it for a while during Town negotiations with the land deal, but finally got the release permissions to share it with you. It has been very well received on Facebook and several CZcams folks (incl you) have commented on it. I'm writing this during a full-blown "Noreaster" snowstorm happening in NewEngland currently. We have 12-14 inches on the ground, light fluffy snow, gale-force winds, and temps in the teens. Hope you're all ready for Christmas 2020. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family from Lakesideranch. It's always good to see you here, checking on things. Have a wonderful day, stay safe, and be kind. See ya on the next 1 Doug@ the "ranch"

Hello Bruce, Thank you! Wonderful to see you in here! Hope you and yours are doing well in this crazy pandemic situation. I'm writing this amidst a true New England "Noreaster" snowstorm, with snow, freezing temps, wind gusts up to 45 MPH, and plenty of whiteout conditions. We are expecting a snow total of 12-18 inches before this storm clears out of the region. Always great to hear from you Bruce, Merry Christmas to you and your family in Germany, all the best in 2021from here at Lakesideranch! Doug@ the "ranch"

George! Thank you my friend for the compliment, great to see you here! Hope you and yours are healthy, staying safe, and ready for Christmas, 2020 style. As I write this we New Englanders are experiencing a substantial "Noreaster" snowstorm expected to leave us with 12 - 18 inches of new snow coupled with temps in the low teens and winds gusting up to 45 MPH! A VERY Merry Christmas to you and your family from here at Lakesideranch. Thanks for the holler here! See ya on the next 1 Doug@ the "ranch"
