A neighbor hood in
Muncie Indiana, also known as Thomas Park/ Avondale , is known by most local residence as
shed town, alluding that historically most of the houses in the neighborhood were small and shack-like. The neighbor hood was home to the Muncie General Motors transmission plant until it closed in 2006 and was subsequently demolished leaving a roughly 60 acre fenced off
concrete slab and can be used a symbol of the death of the manufacturing industry in Muncie and a symbol of urban decay and unemployment that has lead to the meth pandemic in Muncie and the rust belt in general.
Also, a public park in the Thomas Park/ Avondale Neighbor hood.
