across from Pepco generators, called the Pier Nine? It had been there since 1970 and was still in operation around 1984, and the building is still being used as a club even today, now operating as Ziegfields Secrets.

The scrap processing plant and the cement mixers are still down there too, and so are some of the old streetcar tracks.
