Help ID this Detroit building, please

I'm trying to identify the large brown building to the left of the attached photo. It has the graffiti of well-known Detroit tagger 'Reft Gasm' beneath its water tower.

Behind the site, to the right, is a pale building which is the Grand Trunk cold storage facility.

Attachment 24009

Any clues?

I don't know the name of the building, but it is located at E. Warren and DeQuindre. They used an extremely long lens when taking that picture resulting in the illusion that the buildings are close to one another.

the flag in the foreground appears to be on the football field of that charter school...something like PlymouthAcademyInJesusBlessingsFromAboveWePrayInCh ristAmen.

Amen.......

Graffiti is not a big problem here in Las Vegas, tho it does occur. The immediately-past mayor, Oscar Goodman, stated that taggers should have their thumbs cut off when apprehended. I don't particularly disagree.

Any of those taggers in Detroit ever fall down and break their crown?????

Hoban Foods...originally the John J. Bagley & Co Warehouse for their tobacco business.

It's sort of expected for buildings that are vacant, unused, and have huge blank walls.

You're not looking in the right places. Google graffiti "Las Vegas". There's some interesting Hunter S. Thompson images there.

On the other hand, Googling graffiti "Henderson, NV" gets completely different results. :)

Kathleen, thanks. It was my own photo - I used an 800mm lens, hence the 'compression' that makes Grand Trunk and Hoban Foods look nearby to each other.
