eraserhood:

Finally, here are the last two lots. 318-324 N. 11th St. and 326-330 N. 11th St. Next to the Reading Viaduct and catercorner from the Dirty Truck Trailer Lot, these have been owned by the Philadelphia Reading Terminal Company (which for some reason runs out of a little office in Los Angeles), since Jan. 1, 1943. If you want to count the Viaduct itself as am empty lot, that would bring us up to 12, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. When the Reading Viaduct is turned into the coolest elevated park in the world (and it will be), these lots will be valuable as fuck.
