Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road - S01E30 - American Motors Corporation - More Sadness in the Motor City

Hey all! Welcome to this week's installment of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road, where we'll discuss the history and the recent blitzkrieg demolition begun on one of Detroit, Michigan's iconic abandoned automobile factories; the American Motors Corporation Headquarters. Once a booming, bustling and massive complex that built refrigerators, airplane parts and AMC Pacers across its nearly 100 years of operation, AMC has been vacant for more than a decade, becoming a labyrinthine maze of crumbling corridors, colorful artists' canvases and a wonderland for exploratory photographers and the adventurous. The whole thing is coming down as we speak, so swing on by and hear the history of this once proud symbol of American industrial might, hear a few tales of my multiple visits to the plant and maybe share a few of your own in the comments section on Mr. P. Explores' FB post for this episode! Historical background and nostalgic reminiscing abound, so get comfy, grab a Coney Dog with all the fixin's, grab a frosty, fizzy, sugar-sweet Faygo cola of your choice and enjoy the next forty minutes! Enjoy and have a great weekend out there! -Mr. P.
