Any chance LD will reopen ? January 01, 2023, 11:55:34 pm Is the factory being demolished or still usable?Michael
Re: Any chance LD will reopen ? Reply #1 – January 02, 2023, 02:42:52 am It will never reopen. It has been stripped of anything useful. I'm sure the property will be razed and turned into a strip mall or housing. Whatever the zoning laws allow. RonB
Re: Any chance LD will reopen ? Reply #2 – January 02, 2023, 11:52:11 am As Ron said, “it will never reopen. It has been stripped of anything useful.” With that, if you have a desire to see the Mothership property while the facility was still active check out Google Earth before it completely disappears. Brings back some wonderful memories for this ol’ LD owner. 🥰Kent 6 Likes
Re: Any chance LD will reopen ? Reply #3 – January 02, 2023, 02:09:02 pm I wonder what became of the tooling and patterns? We visited the factory in about 2012 and they said the new front cap mold cost $50,000. Sad if they threw that away. Also, more importantly would be the machines to make the roof edge caps. Those could be very handy to have around.

Wish I had taken more while on the tour!
