That's a trend around here as well.

These buildings used to stand vacant for years and years....decades, in fact. The GM truck administration building on South Blvd; the Truck Validation Center, the ancillary buildings at the PMD headquarters, etc.

Lately they have been knocking them down just about as quickly as they can. I'm not sure if the motivation is based on the cost of security at the facilities, or if they are trying to beat the (illegal) scrappers to the punch, or what.

I actually missed my turn in Pontiac the other day because some of the familiar landmarks were gone.
