Over a decade in the re-making- this is The Globe Mills........                                                                                                                        
   
   
    A thriving place of industry, livelihood and utility became, with the passage of time, a broken scene of hazard, decay and blight. When the last Pillsbury worker locked the gates in 1965, there was no future envisioned here. Picturesque in its resolute resistance to just rotting away, attacked by a series of fires, vandalism and finally a city order to demolish, the Globe has persisted - as if the place itself, the memories, the dreams of lives played out here over  100 years, refuse to let go. A city block of concrete five story silos, a burned out milling plant, and the toxic remnants of a former transmission repair shop -- transform that into

Affordable senior housing, hip market rate rental lofts,  neighborhood commercial, a mixed use neighborhood  and a major boost to revitalization of Alkali Flats
