Lost in the hubbub over the shocking revealed/rejected Meatpacking District office building planned at the corner of Washington and West 13th Streets: the old meatpacking plant that would be demolished in the name of progress. Vanishing New York has all sorts of intel on Interstate Foods, Inc., "one of the only places where you can walk by and still see massive slabs of meat hanging from metal hooks." Said Interstate's president back in 2002 about the glamification of MePa: "If I bought a million-dollar apartment, I wouldn't want us across the street." [VNY, previous]
