You guys have to get with the times. This is what most industrial landscapes in the US look like nowadays. Pure function, no romance.

The BMW plant in Spartanburg, SC.

Your typical American 20th (and 21st) Century industrial park: The Westinghouse Industrial Park in Charlotte. Really boring. Sorry.

The GE Appliance Park in Louisville, KY.



You can get a lot of neat stuff on Bing maps.

And here's part of what I think must be one of the largest industrial parks in the US. Don't know the name of it (and it might be more than one next to each other), but it's north of Cincinnati, centered around Sharonville.

Somewhere in this park is the plant that makes GE aircraft engines, but I don't know exactly where it is.

Hey, how about some videos too?

Here's a promo video from BMW on the Spartanburg plant. Looks like more robots than people.

Now the Intel plant actually does have a bit of the traditional industrial feel.

BTW, one of the reasons I love factories owes a lot to that when we had lots more of them, you didn't see all those minuses in the very small type in the US financial balance columns at the back of the Economist, etc.
