This was shot in like spring of 03-04.
Maybe earlier.
When I put this together, I thought "What a boring video", but i edited and uploaded it eventually anyway.
Now i look at it and think about what a great place it was before a decade of nothing going on there.
When we started going, there were police for guards at the front gates. There were ACTIVE business on the main floor! Mostly machine shop type places. There was even LIVE wiring in some parts of the plant!
So anyway, you OG's will remember this fondly, and everyone else will be really surprised.

OK guys, we've gotten several emails asking if we're hiring. We're just a page that honors the history of the plant and/or have "explored" it, or went to take photos.
THAT'S what this page is about, so please, no more resumes lol.
Also, there were a few of the usual "How do I get in?" and general stupid questions that you could answer for yourself by just driving by.
Yes there's a guard. Yes he'll call the cops and tow your car. Yes you will be arrested if caught.
The guards are dicks.
The last time anyone i know went there, they parked well off of the property, so the guard couldn't bust them.
Instead, the guard took the license plates off the cars and we had to drive home like that.
Sorry if I sound like a dick, I'm really just trying to help.
