Motor City Story

The sunlit ruins in the distance on the right are part of the old Packard assembly plant, where some of America's finest automobiles were built for more than half a century. On the left, automobiles deemed no longer fit for use are crumpled together in massive towers, many of them retaining some hint of the personalities of their previous owners: bumper stickers ("Out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign") and front plates promoting local sports teams or one's preference of fishing over one's current predicament. Between them: a dozen trailers advertising Toyota as the sun sets on the Motor City.
