Chicago Candy Factory [Part 2]

HIGH DEF VERSION: http://gallery.mac.com/zachmanz8#100015/Chicago-20Candy-20Factory&bgcolor...
Spent a weekend in chicago and visited an abandoned candy factory that had an amazing natural visual appeal to it. Spent a good 3 hours just exploring it's space, made the whole trip on its own. Met John Elhardt while I was there and his house mix was totally appropriate for this location. Tell me what you think? Should it be this long? Maybe I'll make a shorter "commercial cut." Thoughts?

This building is now demolished. The Dark Knight movie crew dressed this building up as a hospital and the Joker made it explode

I'm working on getting a hi-res version on the net that will do justice to the texture and detail first. Link you to that once it's up.

Also it was never a Hospital is was made to look like one for the movie it was always an office I use to work thier with my dad.

. The newer office building was demolished in The Dark Knight movie not the older factory. I use to work their and was their when they filmed

[krash1030]

I and My dad worked here for over 27 years, they shut the plant down and moved it after it was bought American homes sold it to Jacob scuhard and they ran it in the ground it was not the union or the workers wanting more pay it was bad leadership with the new owners.

I took a metra (the train from the 1st vid) from downtown chicago to the north suburbs last week... all the way, hundreds of shut down factories and factories that are on the verge of shutting down.. it's really sad, such a shame for the city and the country... the biggest manufacturing power now rotting...
