(non-Ford) Abandoned Packard Plant
Here's a very interesting article about the abandoned Packard plant in Detroit:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/07/ga...ard-plant.html There are also some photos. Funny how it's in the Home and Garden section of the paper... Doug

Thanks Doug, I enjoyed the story. What a museum that would be, a real shame.

It's really sad what has happened to such a great car company, and also what has happened to so many great buildings around the U.S. The U.S. is such a throw away society.

The 2012 movie, Alex Cross, has some Packard plant shots in it. The movie is only a 3-star flick, but I liked seeing the Packard plant even if it was a little sad.
