Dear Chris J in da house,

Ukraine is a country! Pripyat was the near-by city which is now a ghost town, as a result of the Chernobyl incident.

You got your facts from playing Call of Duty 4 and you didn’t even get them right!

Back in the day, the top 3 floors stored rides and the first floor was a showroom or something like that. One of the elevators was still original, designed to shuttle Packards between floors. Unfortunately the cable snapped one day, sending staff plummeting into the basement. Miraculously nobody was injured because they were moving furniture during an office reorganization.</p> I worked from 1987 to 1995 at an architectural/engineering firm in Philadelphia at 23rd & Chestnut… in a former Packard building.

The red car looks like maybe a Cobalt SS to me(see the supercharger on the front of the engine?).

I would love to see some historic photos of this place before it became ruins. Anybody got some around?
