What's Left of GM in Lansing

This is what was known as the Lansing Metal Center. It was a GM Plant on Saginaw Highway in Lansing Michigan. This plant was located directly across the street from the Lansing Craft Center.

The Lansing Metal Center was a massive building...Over 1,500,000 square feet! Well over the size of a city block. Trains came in and out of here (as you can see from the railroad track signs) quite often. Now this is all that remains of it

The Craft Center is nothing but a pile of rubble at this point. It sits kitty corner from Sexton High School (which was scheduled to close due to dwindling enrollment and bad test scores). Almost all of the businesses that sat by these plants are also either closed or on their last leg.

I got closer for a few more pics. As you can see, some people still have jobs in the plants....Tearing them down.
