Amazingly, our Domino Sugar Factory here in Baltimore is still actively refining sugar. It just got a major upgrade a couple of years ago when they replaced its iconic, giant orange neon sign with a new LED one.
Wow, love this documentation! I used to work at Glasslands across the street from the factory. That block has undergone the most massive transformation in the shortest timespan that I've ever seen. I cackled at your description, "adaptive reuse/post-industrial fetishism" :)
Great photos, and as always enjoyable commentary. You are a master of low-key snark. See you next years.

Many years ago my uncle, Fred Speicher, was a truck driver for Domino. I love these pictures and wonder what the building is now being used for.
There is a cannabis retail shop on the ground level now.
This brings back memories of suburban malls in 1985. Amazing.
You have enriched my mind again in 2024. Thank you.
Thank you.
