I used to live on 16th St. by those busy tracks for 30 years...thanks for a nice vision from the past! My old stomping grounds..
Clark ready-mix is gone these days, and the El Patio cafe is in vacant and poor condition, it will probably be razed soon, among many other things I remember about that area..
Clark is gone but not forgotten. It is on a list of hazmat/brownfields, and waiting on money for clean-up. I remember the orginal El Patio on 16th Street by the creek. I always thought they had great tacos. I suspect the move/expansion killed it. Tried to grab too much. Too bad about the building. 14th Avenue used to be a very busy street with all the different rail employees working in the yard. Now, I'm not so sure there is enough traffic to support a restaurant or bar.
