Stylin, Chene and E. Grand Blvd. = Poletown GM Plant.
Thanks for bringing up those pictures again MikeM. I remember some discussion on that before. I remember that apt. It was so massive; the biggest thing around. |

There might be a few pics in the Old Polish Detroit thread (If I ever got around to posting them) in the HOF section of this site.

Here's a map, again, showing the boundaries of the Poletown Debacle.
The bright green shows the new roads bordering the Poletown complex, with Mt Elliott bordering on the east.

I believe that those pics were made by photo students at WSU in the early 1980's...They did an extensive documentary project on the area demolished by GM for the Poletown Plant. |
