Thanks to everyone for all the feedback. This place is so cool, I think anything shot in there would turn out looking good. Michelle, when I was in there, I could almost hear the workers too. In the darker areas, I was wondering what I'd do if I ran into a ghost of some guy still at work. Someone just had to fall in the beer and drown, wouldn't you think? Alpha, it was supposed to be turned into condos, but the developer backed out at the last minute (too expensive), so it still sits there with new houses between the back of it and the river, and the old, mostly abandoned industrial section in front of it. The man said probably nothing would ever become of it. But, if I ever get rich, man what a party palace this could be turned in to! Doruksal, I got an adrenalin rush just reading your post about going there at night. There are some uncovered holes in the floor that look down to the floor below, and I'd probably fall through one running from a ghost! But it does sound exciting. I remember those pictures of yours that you mentioned, and now I'm going to go back and check them out again. Hopefully the Brewery won't be torn down like your hotel. Bonbon, I saw a group of old Memphis photographs for sale, and one of them is this Brewery building from the 1920's. The beer wagons are very fancy looking, and you can see them leaving the building through the main entrance. Even the workers were dressed up.
