The arrowhead-shaped series of low warehouses along Stewart Ave. belong today to Peking Food Corp. and Global Foods. There is some evidence that they at one time belonged to Englander Mattress Manufacturing Company – particularly the word "mattresses" is partially visible in a weathered old paint sign.
There is some taggin' going on up on this roof – since I live in the building next door I was able to get the photos and put them in the model. There is the flying saucer tentacle alien thingie on the far brick, and also one notable phrase "After rockin parties he departed in a jalopy" next to a skull. Search results show this to be a lyric from Madvillain's "Rhinestone Cowboy." There are a lot of parties on this roof during the summer, people crawl out of the window and bring grills and slip-n-slides.
There is a scrap processing facility at the tip of this arrow, which is playfully called "Mordor" by some of the locals because of the black smoke, metal carnage, clanging, and oil which spills into the street.
The Peking Corp. Building has been accepted to GE, I'm waiting for Mordor.
