The Packard Plant Ruins
Bellevue Street
Detroit, Michigan

Probably one of the more bizarre aspects of Detroit suburbia was that this road is just blocked off by debris that was dumped there. The other end of the street has a "Road Closed" sign and some concrete barriers but the opposite end had nothing but these piles of hay, concrete and tires. It reminded me of the 1980's movie classic Escape From New York, the only thing missing from this scene is Issac Hays in a white chandelier adorned pimpmobile. The Packard plant in the background is a massive abandoned six square block monstrosity that has stood unused since 1958. Nearby was an older man who had a hammer walking around striking the hammer into objects that laid outside the plant, wasn't really sure what that was about but he was clearly not interested in us.
