This view also faces east. The vast showrooms, guarded now by chain-link fencing, are a bleak memorial to American's economic distress.
The photo below faces north, directly in front of where I was standing at one-time entrance to the facility.
Facing west, the cement graveyard of the auto industry stretches many blocks in both directions.
This pile of rubble was a decorative island for plantings, on the fancy cobblestone drive into the auto dealership.
It hurts the heart to see the decay, the far-stretching emptiness of an economic boneyard such as this.

By the way I've posted the final episode of 'Paternity' on Journeys on Creative Writing today. I think you were following the story?
Those photos are eerie! Reminds me of the final scene from "On the Beach"! At least it isn't from nuclear war!
