Looks like it could be prime realestate for a mega skate park thingie.

Just imagine repeating that scene another 300 times across the Midwest. It will be that ugly.

Re: LIFE Magazine Pictures of Terrytown, NY GM Plant
I used to drive across the Tapanzee Bridge a lot in the early 90's and you could see the vehicles poping out of the building every minute or so. I think they were the small Blazers back then. Now when you drive across you see empty concrete, just like the picture above. Very sad.

Re: LIFE Magazine Pictures of Terrytown, NY GM Plant
I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but Tarrytown plant is misspelled throughout this thread. It's not Terrytown.
Cool pics - I didn't know that Life was doing that deal with Google.
