Tour the old Fremont GM Assembly Plant, Fremont CA here.
From Wikipedia
"Fremont Assembly was a General Motors automobile factory in Fremont, California. Groundbreaking for the plant occurred in September 1961. It was the new site for production in the San Francisco area in 1962 when production moved from the older Oakland Assembly. Production continued through March 1st of 1982 when the plant was closed. Partially demolished (south end and water tower), the remaining plant was refurbished as the NUMMI joint-venture with Toyota and later became the Tesla Factory, Tesla Motors' automobile plant."

Supposedly it was wild as fuck there in the GM days. Partying hard on the line and even harder in the parking lot after the shift.
I worked at the plant in the 90's and 00's, Toyota era, and the old dudes confirmed the stories. Man, that was an awesome place to work, just a whole city (about 5000) of rad motherfuckers. |
