                <media:description>WATERBURY, CT - OCTOBER 21: The remaining interior of a shuttered factory connected to the brass industry stands in what was once a vibrant manufacturing city on October 21, 2018 in Waterbury, Connecticut. Known as &quot;Brass City&quot;, Waterbury, like many manufacturing cities in America, started to see a decline in manufacturing following World War II. Today the city is seeking funds to tear down many of the remaining factories as they have become sources of arson fires and are increasingly unsightly. Since 2011 Waterbury has knocked down around a dozen old factories. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)</media:description>
