Ripping The Insides Out


They ripped off part of the front of the building of the power plant a couple of weeks ago.  But they put up concrete Jersey barriers and poles and chain link fence, and then to add insult to injury, they put up a green plastic material to screen the work from people on the street!  So I climbed up on the Jersey barrier and fortunately they had put small openings in the fabric to let the air through.  So I pulled on one of the fabric openings and there was just enough room that when I put my lens through the chainlink fence, there was a small hole in the fabric!  Whew!  Anyhow, I managed to get this shot.  I wish I had seen this hall when the plant was running.  I think that maybe this was the location of the first generators when the plant opened in 1919.   Little by little my favorite plant is coming down.

  2. Seeing the equipment inside of the building makes me realize how huge this is. They look like toys.
