Photographer Sarina Finkelstein has taken some photos of the General Motors Moraine Assembly plant closure and the people affected by it. The plant closed on December 23, 2008 and the images show a place that is deserted and left for ruin. Before its closure, the plant was responsible for assembling Chevrolet Trailblazers, GMC Envoys, and Saab SUVs. I really wonder what they’re going to do with the cars and vehicles that they cannot sell or move elsewhere. Do they just sit there and rot?
Anyway, check out some more photos from the series at Sarina Finkelstein’s website.
Wow! I live in Dayton. Thanks for posting this, it just goes to show how much one plant can keep a city alive. Now, there is nothing here but the Air Force base. I’m sure if you keep an eye on the news this summer you will notice a crime boom here in the mid-west. Thanks Herman, have a good one….
