I've been trying to document the demolition of buildings in Prospect Heights, and today I ran into a guy who working in a factory here for 30 years. Here is a short video about what he had to say:

You couldn't interview him away from the jack hammers? Interesting story, though.

I thought I was pushing my luck by asking the interview him in the first place. I thought the moment may have been lost if I asked him to step away.

But whaddya want for nothing?

Thanks for documenting this, Raul, and for posting it.

Very interesting. Even industrial buildings have connections to the lives and memories of people.

i think the jackhammering in the background is appropriate given the content of the interview...perfect actually

Thank you for sharing this. I loved it. I would love to hear more stories from those who have lived here more than a decade or two. I hear stories sometimes from a few folks who have lived in our building all of their lives (and they are in their 60's). Its amazing to hear people's lives in relation to a neighborhood constantly changing.

So thank you, Raul. Nice work!
