Re: Demolition of Pontiac East Assembly Plant

very sad.. i watched em take down the Ford Ranger plant here in Edison about 2000. My first ranger was one of the last to come out of there... then a year or so later GM went and took down the Linden assembly plant where they made the S 10 pickup and sonoma..years later both have become strip malls.. it was sad to see both go and even sadder to see what went in their places.. but the saddest thing of all was there was once a thriving factory there making decent wages for its employees and now theres places that barely pay minumum wage.. and they call it progress
