I saw these photos on A.org of recent (not sure how recent) of MOS technologies. They were confirmed as real. At least the flowers still grow...http://jungle.net/tone/mos/mos.html

Considering the Commodore name went to Tulip, this one was kinda apt!

There is certainly no other EPA SuperFund site that's half as lovely! :)

Ah, some newer pictures ... that building would certainly make for a nifty studio for filming some horrible low budget sci-fi drek. :D

I was one of the two people who took pictures and posted them online for Amiga.org and they had to be resized to fit the board's size requirements for pictures.

I had contacted the current owner before the scheduled demolition and he gave me permission to take a few pictures although anyone on the street can photograph anything.

I'm willing to share with the board here.

So has it been demolished yet?  Before and after photos would be nice.  Actually any photos you care to share would be welcome!

I haven't been there since I took my pictures.  It was supposed to become a velodrome.  I contacted the people who were buying the land and they put me in contact with the owner and he asked me to talk to his real estate representative.  It was because some of the Amiga users thought there would still be masks in the building and they wanted no stone left unturned.  According to some of the users there was a flood in the building and the old equipment was kept in the basement.  The last owner considered everything trash.  The whole building inside was gutted so you couldn't even tell what went on there which is why they didn't see a need to show me around.

I had put a lot of the pictures online but some of the comments and behavior struck a nerve with me so I took them down except for these:

I have a lot more pictures but they took a long time to upload to these picture sharing sites.  I have pictures that show what appears to be (I'm guessing) ovens on the back of the building because of the ventilation.  Someone would have to identify it to me.

Thanks for the photos.  I was suprised to see GMT instead of CSG in front of the building.  What an environmental nightmare those guys bought into!
