“Abandoned” in Proctor PROCTOR — National Geographic Channel’s “Abandoned,” a docu-reality television series starring Jay Chaikin, Dan Graham and Mark Pakenas, featured the abandoned Vermont Marble Company factory in Proctor Sept. 28. The show’s crew scour abandoned buildings for relics of America's history that they can refurbish and sell. Although one critic has said the crew simply place artifacts on various sites in order to “discover” them before the camera lens. The marble produced at the Proctor plant was processed for the U.S. Supreme Court Building and the Jefferson Memorial. The crew visited a hidden bomb shelter and found a huge air-raid siren. There, they also found White House blueprints.

price tag. A multi-patented creation of inventor Dean Kamen, Segway—the name of the firm that manufactures the made-in-USA, scooter-like people mover—continues to roll machines off its Bradford, N.H., assembly line.
