(erielack) Another one gone

Another EL era icons is history. Over the past couple of months the 
former A&P plant/distribution center in Elmira has been in the process 
of being razed. When I went by today after last seeing it a couple of 
weeks ago, it was completely gone. They are doing site preparation work 
for whatever is to replace it (a parking lot?). I don't know what the 
plans are for the site since I haven't keep up with the local papers. 
Maybe someone from the Elmira area proper knows what the plans are for 
the site.

For those who may not be familiar, this plant was a huge concrete 
building, 1.2 million square feet if I remember correctly. It contained 
a massive cold storage freezer used for frozen foods. I believe all rail 
traffic to the plant was limited to inbound loads with trucks handling 
the outbound loads. I'm not 100% certain of that though.
