Just after these forums started I tried to get someone in the Youngstown area to get pictures of the signs at the gates to the parking lots of the General Motors Assembly plant at Lordstown. No one responded.
This Thanksgiving I drove down to Virginia to be with my oldest daughter so, since my route took me right past Lordstown, I made a slight detour.
In the spring of 2005 I did some contract engineering work at this plant and EVERY entrance to the parking lots had signs.
On Nov. 20, '07 there were no signs visible at the south entrance to the lot. Then I noticed that the chain link fence around the south lot had been removed along with the gates and the card key system (that was not in use when I worked there). The south side lot appeared to be completely unfenced. This is where all union workers, admin. staff, engineers, visitors, and management park, I think. If someone knows for sure let me know.
I continued on around the plant to the east to get on the I80 turnpike where I found the below signs. This parking lot and plant access is the end of the building where the finished cars are shipped out. I think that any cars in this lot are test cars, cars to be shipped, etc. Again, I could be wrong about what this entrance is, if someone knows, let me know.
Note: Closer examination of the wide angle photo the the first pic below is part of indicates that this gate might be part of the fence that has been taken down and may itself disappear soon
The big sign is pretty close to 4 feet on a side.

If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.

If this had been anywhere near where I grew up, it would have been shotgunned several times and riddled with bullets.
It would also have some creative spray paint lettering.
