I really love industrial archeology, which is my name for this:

searching for America's industrial past.

Thank you for this post.

So the original article thinks the Packard Plant has to go?

why? I like it as a reminder that things DO NOT have to be the way they are now.

We can recreate a country that makes what it uses.
My guess is that people will not like it, as it will mean using less.

But self-sufficiency is not a bad thing.

thanks again for posting.
