(October 19) At long last, the main event. The former Domino Sugar Refinery of Williamsburg, Brooklyn on the East River, formerly Havemeyer and Elder’s Sugar Refining Company, and soon to be luxury apartments with a killer view of the east side of midtown Manhattan.
Once upon a time, long, long ago, things were manufactured in New York City.
Now we call these graveyards “historical landmarks”.
Next stop: Luxury apartments.
The landmark sign that inspired protests.
New York City used to be the “sugar capital” of the USA.
The sad remains of what once was.
That sound you hear off in the distance is called gentrification.
Incongruity.
No gift shop at the end of this tour.
