Most industrial areas of the U.S.

NW Portland and Georgetown, Seattle

Seattle has areas that feel industrial with the container ship ports and also Boeing factories (although some of that is moving to South Carolina)

Here's Boeing Field heading into downtown Seattle on I-5:

Yep. From Michigan City all the way to the south side of Chicago, those Northwest Indiana cities are immediately what comes to my mind when I think of old American industry, and that of which is still standing today.

This is from Whiting, IN

It's more warehouses, food manufacturing, clothing manufacturering, etc. Some of it can still be fairly poluting, but there is a big difference in feel/scale from the massive mills/factories/plants seen in other areas.

The only real heavy industry in LA is some refineries and the old Kaiser Steel mill out in Fontana. Even the refineries tend to be a lot more hidden in LA, camoflouged with vegetation, man made hills, and tall, view obstructing fences. In Houston, similar plants just have a see-through chain link fence around, and they are concentrated along the ship channel for miles, vs LA where the are spread out from Long Beach, Torrance, Wilmington, Harbor City, Carson, and El Segundo.

As others have mentioned, many areas of Chicago Southland and Northwest Indiana. Joliet, IL is also big one.

Pros and cons in both of those methods on your seconds paragraph. Anyway, I was talking industry in general. But Long Beach has quite a continuation of refineries.
