Prehistoric Work Conditions

This is not a picture of an Iraqi interrogation room, it is the inside of a radiator repair shop on NW Everett and 15th. When we first moved into the Pearl District this place looked kind of strange and outdated. Now that we have all these upscale shops and restaurants here it looks downright prehistoric. They have several open flames going at any one time and I feel like something is going to blow up every time I go by there. Also, the guys that work there look really tough looking and I get the impression from the way they look at you when you walk by, that they are not happy with the changes in the neighborhood. It is a pretty cool reminder of the fact that this area used to be much more industrial, but I wonder how much longer they will be around?
