 So I finally decided to throw on my boots and go to the Fisher Body Plant, one of the most famous car factories. It made car bodies as the title suggests, and earlier, wagons. In 2015 it caught fire and one of the elevator shafts collapsed on the building. The building was easily accessible compared to other places, it had a door neighboring the sidewalk, which lead me into the very-wet first floor. These are some industrial rubber flaps. I recently found out they are called strip doors, these doors always make a building 2 times as 'industrial'. This is actually the second floor, which was partly falling down like a ramp, with some nifty ropes left for climbing The building appears in 8-Mile, as Rabbit is driving to his job at the stamping plant The teal windows' effect added to the atmosphere within the building, I brought a shard of the glass home. This was an elevator shaft, it devastated the bottom 2 floors of building in a fire after coming away from the building. Ne...

In Core City, Detroit, there is a 3 story tall factory with some peculiar triangular vents on the roof. This was Edmund & Jones, a maker of car parts. Today most of the windows are filled with cinder blocks, and each floor is barren. The top floor is filled with the cinder blocks though. Portions of it were torn down in the scrapping epidemic. There are a few entrances, boarded up but you can easily peel them back and squeeze in. I spotted some of these odd brick-clad pillars on the middle floor. Surprisingly, the top floor had the most junk. Loads of bricks and other 'things'. Many skyline photos have been taken from the roofs of abandoned buildings. I don't think anybody's climbing this ladder anytime soon.

      This is an other one of those places that looks nice, but is abandoned. It is also right in downtown Jackson. The buildings could take an easy renovation, but they opted to tear down a large part of it on the north end of the warehouse. You can see that teal is the color scheme for the property. The larger warehouse had a pretty unusual entrance here, this is a 'service window'. The breaker box is leaking tar. Unusual. This gave gave me a bit of knowledge about the company. It is older than 90 years atleast. A place for workers to wash most likely their hands, cleanup themselves. I overheard about people doing heroin here, which does not sound too unusual... There is a second floor up there, this was probably the loading space for the company's storage of construction materials. That was a vehicle. I don't know how they did it, but they did it good. In 2021 a portion of the flat rubber tar roof was demolished, along with the trees surrounding the area, leaving the...

      There is an industrial area of Core City of Detroit is barely anything today. Here we see what's left is one side of an old railroad bridge, and a water tower with no water tank. It is a pretty odd sight. This used to connect to Northway motors, which burnt down causing the reason for the detachment. A photo of the fire, from dfdlegacy . This is the start of the former bridge, from the other end of the road. Seems like a people hangout here, and dump their garbage as well. Understandably this place is pretty cozy. A small part of the plant was north (left) of the bridge. The rest was across on the other side. For a while this parcel was filled with cars. For a couple decades after the fire a small building stood there before being turned to rubble. Remains of a homeless campsite, after all it's easy to hide from people when you're above  them I'm not sure where the water tank went. 

      Michigan Pressed Brick is usually neglected as an urbex spot, but when it comes to graffiti, the building is just walls. This building used to have a roof, until it burnt down sometime in the 2000s. Now the floor is covered in old tech. Here is a basin to wash your hands. It was bathroom detached from the main structure. There is no more second floor now. If you're brave you can climb the rotting wooden stairs. This is the main room where the old warehouse used to be. You can still lease the property today. The adjacent room was full of old tech bits like keyboards and memory chips, and what was a car. This is barely even a room any more. More like a jungle, the overgrowth was growing over everything. This space has always been empty. I wonder how long it's been since someone climbed these stairs... Makes you wonder how the hell the second floor got warped into this shape. The original lights are still hanging from the old wires. That's pretty cool. This single stor...
