I stop here every day and today was rewarded with a new gallery! Thanks! Mr. Motts, have you ever heard of the First Prize facility in Albany NY? It was a meat processing plant not unlike this one. I live near there and it's been vacant for a long time, although I think now part of it is being reused. I remember as a kid going by or anywhere near that place, the smell was horrible!!

With all the homeless people in the US, something I think is appalling, I don't understand why places like this (and there are many) can't be either given or sold very cheaply to someone who could put some "sweat-equity" into the property and then live there. There are so many boarded up and vacant properties in so many cities, why can't something be done so people don't have to live on the street? I'm sure the reason is all politics but frankly, I just don't get it.

Those houses are gorgeous, it is a shame they couldn't build a new neighborhood around them.

I love when there are old photos to compare the new ones with. I go back and forth between the two and see how time changes space.

Awesome shot. Is there anything on this land now or is it just vacant?
