    I really feel that the lofts would be fantastic.
    Vintage outside, state of the art(with keeping the character of the building)on the inside.
    Love those high ceilings.

  37. The Factories that were here, some have been turned into Outlet Malls, where you can buy things new for next to nothing.

    It would be nice to rent a loft here.
