Something pretty impressive is going on at the Packard Plant on Detroit's east side.
JC Reindl of the Detroit Free Press videotaped workers on Thursday draping graphic coverings on both sides of the plant's iconic pedestrian bridge that spans East Grand Boulevard. It was a look from the 1930s.
He writes:
Imprinted on the mesh covers is a full-scale photo of the brick bridge as it appeared during Packard's 20th Century heyday, long before graffiti appeared, windows disappeared and the old clocks stopped working.
As workers did that, Packard Plant owner Fernando Palazuelo stood nearby, the Freep reports.
"This is a symbol for the city and the country," Palazuelo said, according to the Freep. "To have the opportunity to see the bridge like it was one century ago — this is incredible."
