Those pics remind me of what the former grounds of the Dodge truck and Dodge/Chrysler minivan plants now look like in St. Louis, except all of the piles of debris have been removed from them. Just a big, flat, empty field...and a water tower with no name. The facilities stood since the late 1950s. In 2005 $1 billion was promised by Chrysler for upgrades to the two plants.

Former manufacturing there has mostly moved to Mexico and Canada.

Without industry its a rocky slope downhill
