The fallout of the ensuing mill shutdowns erased many of the city's beloved landmarks and neighborhoods. Students hurrying across a crowded campus tread on the foundations of the Elms Ballroom, where Duke Ellington once brought down the house. On the lower east side, only broken buildings and the long-silent stacks of Republic Rubber remain. Urban explorer and historian Sean T.
