So I found myself back in Steeltown, staring down an old adversary the other day. I've attempted the Firestone plant several times in the last year, only to be foiled every time (people on adjacent sites, security, new plywood fences, etc). But this time was different... I finally got myself into the plant.
And so, I have conquered a foe, and the writeup is here. As are the boatload of pictures I took at the former tire manufacturing site.
In addition, there has been a code update... select EXIF data for the photos are now displayed in the gallery, for those curious as to what my settings for the shots were. Hope you enjoy.
