Default Re: Ultra "SAD" news here locally

I feel your sadness.
I was part of a 'committee' that tried to save the front office of the Twin Cities Ford Assembly Plant in Saint Paul. Our hopes were big and the price was bigger.
The good news was that I became friends with the Ford Motor Company controller that was in charge of the demolition. He allowed me to be around during the tear down and get some photos. I made a historical slide show program that I showed to car clubs in the area.
The land is now single home, moderate income and low income housing with retail business--- and limited parking area. Most is set aside for bicycle traffic that is available here in Minnesota year around.
