Memphis Army Depot, chemicals
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Defense_Depot
"Operations at the depot began in January 1942, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officially activated the site as the Memphis General Depot. The depot provided supplies including clothing, food, medical supplies, electronic equipment, petroleum products, and industrial chemicals. It had 130 buildings and over 4,000,000 square feet (370,000 m2) of indoor storage.[1]
Eventually, the disposal of chemicals began at the site. This included the disposal of leaking mustard bombs at Dunn Field, a field located on the property. From 1942 until 1962 the installation performed Army supply and was known variously as the Memphis Quartermaster Depot, Memphis Army Service Forces Depot, and the Memphis General Depot.[1]
In 1992, the 632-acre base was placed on the list of Superfund sites maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because "chemicals from the wastes that were released on site resulted in contaminated soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment."[2] According to the EPA, significant cleanup has been achieved.[2]
In 1995, the depot was placed on the closure list of the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission and on September 30, 1997, it was closed. Since that year, 94% of the facilities have been returned to public use. Part of the depot has also been reused as the Memphis Depot Business Park."

Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine"

Sovereign by thus measure, lacking morality, sucketh.
As such modern terms malign lips, southern Gates to childhood.
The child passes, handless, between cosmos.
There ain't no plural.
We're one, damned agnostically in pre-retrib ution. Thank gosh, classic rock
Long hauls our slag
From the try pot.

Sam Wheeler, misogynistic liar
'I’m stepping away to look after my health, period,” Adams, 59, said in his first interview since resigning Tuesday.
"The only person who put their foot down and said I had to leave my job was my husband.”
_____
"the city’s most influential business lobbying group, Portland Business Alliance, praised Adams for the work he accomplished."
"There’s no question that Sam Adams’ tenure in the mayor’s office made a positive impact,” said Jon Isaacs, the group’s vice president for public affairs.
("At least seven city employees complained to the mayor’s office or human resources about Adams’ conduct —
particularly toward women)
"Adams leaves with
a city aligned behind a clear plan
to end unsanctioned camping, incentivize the production of thousands of units of badly needed housing and
improved strategies for taming our city’s rise in crime.”
____
After his departure, Wheeler issued a statement praising Adams as “a hard worker with a strong vision for Portland.”
"This was one of the most unprofessional experiences I’ve had, not just at the city, but in my career,” an employee in the city attorney’s office wrote. '
He earned $154,000 a year.
Complaints against Adams provided by the city stretch back to August 2021,
just six months after the former mayor returned to City Hall.
