I've been a long time reader and fan of this forum, but never contributed before. Anyway, I realize threads relating to the Packard have been quite abundant on this forum, but I thought I'd share this since it involves a different "spin" on the building's use and has some great photos. It's a short article about a small group of skateboarders from Detroit and Ontario who created skateable obstacles using trash and objects found at the abandoned site.

On a side note, there have been quite a few attacks at the Packard Plant as of late due to the huge influx of clueless "tourists" to the site. Several people have been beat up and had their money/valuables/cars, etc. stolen. In addition, Detroit Police/Border Patrol have been frequenting the premises and handing out trespassing tickets.
