Makes me sad, too, 'cause I've studied about the car industry virtually all my life. Places lie East Grand Blvd, Highland Park, Piquette Avenue, et al, are kinda sacred to me. Detroit was the envy of the world at one time. And TVs ? Man to have lived in the days when Sarnoff & MacDonald delighted screwing w/each other. Imagine having a "Cherry" Bomber Trans-Oceanic, CT-100, a family of Portholes, a family of those too-cute little 8" RCA sets from '56, in All the colors.... Now, "Dee-Toilet" is just that, barely a shadow of its former self. I've seen & have been horrified by the YouTUbe videos.... Shocking...All our vaunted electronics industry, do they even make anything electronic here anymore I have a last-gen soiled state Porta-Potty that was made in Portsmouth, Virginia, of all places. Likely was one of the last of the last ones. Maybe one of the last TVs made here...Period.
