Things Get Worse ... Before They Get Better.

As you can see by these pictures, the other side of the Train Track looks like a big mess! And, What you can't hear, is the noise from the big machinery as they continue tearing down the Nation Rubber Industries (NRI) building from 7:30am to 4:30pm during the week.

The NRI had been wafting out the bad smell of burnt rubber for many years. For the past few years of gardening, many of us were concerned about the toxins that might be in part of the bad smell. So, for those of us that have been here a while, the site of the factory being torn down is a releif, to know that it won't be polluting our air any more.

It looks like they are separating the steel structures from the building and piling it up near the train track, and the hope is, that they will soon take it away to be melted down. That will help with the eye-sore.
