Wow cool I drove through Memphis along 55 just yesterday! From the interstate I saw several intriguing industrial abandonments. If I didn't have the wifey and kid in tow, I would've been on it fo-sho.

problem with memphis sites is that they have a homeless problem and they do their best to keep people out. if i had more experianced people with me i'd be willing to go in more places. >.<

Great job now im not saying FOR sure but theoese strang looking Silo things are hoppers we have them at my work they are for shreading waste (in our case light cardboard) also form seeing the colors on the floor and and the trenches you were talking about Im going to say this was some kind of a printing plant the trenches could be for waste removal(not like you would usally think of waste) and or for the wires and lines to be placed into

I could be way wrong but Im just saying what it could be
