The GM plant that has always been at the intersection of MLK and the river here in Lansing is being demolished. I had a kind of compulsion to go see it, so Justin indulged me and we walked up over the bridge and took some photos. I'm not sure why I had to see it - I think it has to do with the exhiliration of something so ugly finally being torn down. They are recycling the materials from the building, and it was cool to see the separated piles of iron, steel, brick, concrete... the building reduced to its elements.
We saw a guy and his family on the bridge who said that he had worked there for a long time, and had to come see it. It reminded me how glad I was that I work for a Kingdom that is not of this world... that will never fail.
