Laundry Building

This former mid-century built laundry and supply building has been approved for demolition by the city. I inquired about permission to making it a legal wall several years ago, but no traction was made. I might try again. The building has nice railroad related murals on the the front and side by artist Pamela Bliss, and on the north-side facing the railroad tracks is graffiti mostly from the early 2000s. This was also a benching spot of mine, where a lot of my freight photos and video were taken during 2002-05. After razing the building, it will become a parking lot for the city. On a positive note, maybe it will be easier to view trains from the lot, as long as they omit the chain-link fence.
