The Pearl Brewery

Despite being bought by Pabst and LoneStar at different
points in it's long history, the Pearl Brewery is finally
closed for good.
The switching engine no longer runs down the city streets
delivering freightcars full of ingredients.
Weddings that took place in the former horse stables are
now distant memories.
Several fires have damaged it beyond repair so many of the
buildings are being demolished, and what remains will become
the local branch of the Culinary Arts Institute.
I'm surprised this sign on Broadway hasn't been torn down
already, as the future crushes the past under it's relentless
march forward.
(Please click on the sign for the full-sized image)
I shot this for the final weekly Scavenger Hunt of the year,
because the sign has X's on it.
