All year long, we'll be bringing you photos from the famed spots around the
country that were affected over the past two years by a Florida-borne disease
known to regulars on the copcar discussion boards. This month we are
taking you to Corning, New York, site of the "Manhunt for the
Enforcer".
copcar
dot com presents: "Blowing Glass in Corning"
| Corning is probably best known for the
glass works that makes such products as Corningware, etc. Named
after the town's founder, Erastus Corning, it has a dark history
that few people know.
You see, even though we know that the REAL
Enforcer lives in Virginia, somebody got the bright idea it was some
poor guy in Corning that happens to like Pontiacs. So, he found
out where he lived and worked and basically made life a living Hell for
a man who had never even heard of copcar dot com. At least until
the local cops came calling. |
| Responding to the call from the coconut, Corning Police
set out with a dragnet all along the banks of the Chemung River. |
| Traffic enforcement units set up roadblocks on all the
major thoroughfares. |
| Emergency Response Vehicles hit the streets. |
| The Steuben County Sheriff got into the act, sending
deputies all across the county in a manhunt gone wild. |
| Knowing the Enforcer was capable of speed should he be
spotted, the NYSP was called in with their B4C Camaro's |
| But the Enforcer proved too elusive. Or maybe he
never even existed after all. Or maybe, just maybe, the fruit loop
in Florida was just that.
With that, life got back to normal in Corning and the glassmakers
went back to what they do best: blowing glass in Corning. |
