End of an area.
 
The old Chrysler Stamping plant in Twinsburg OH was a mainstay for generations.

"area" or "era"?

Inquiring minds want to know.

That's where my Dad worked from 1963 to 1985. Back in the '60s and '70s they had employee dependent tours called, "Pickle Tours":confused:. I'd been on a few of those.

Oh, well. Shit happens. Move on.

I thought you might want to see that Dave. I almost applied there myself years ago.

And apparently I need remedial English.

Thanks, Pete.

Why didn't you? Pop loved his job there.

Btw, I went with my uncle years back to a employee tour at Ford in St Louis. It was cool as heck, particularly as my uncle said hell with the yellow line we were supposed to follow and went where ever he wanted. Even back then (early 80s) they had tons of automation.

At the time the big three was already in trouble. I'd have been ok if I managed to get in 20 years before it closed, if having to move to Detroit City is OK :p

It's all good. A job in Korea is just as good as a job in America. Just ask the captains of industry.
