Plumes of black smoke hover over Stockton from a produce distribution warehouse behind the Growers Hall on Monday, June 20, 2022
Two very large produce
warehouses, covering two full city blocks on N. Wilson Way (just north
of The Stroll) burnt pretty much to the ground on Monday.
It
is hard to tell if that was part of the Juneteenth celebrations,
homeless people setting fires, or some other cause. I drive that way
fairly regularly as there are a lot of specialty auto related businesses
in the general area. I confess I don't ever remember seeing ANY
vehicles around the warehouses, but the buildings did not look to be
particularly decrepit or abandoned either. There is still a significant
amount of produce shipping that takes place around here, but not nearly
as much cannery and other processing operations as there once was.
And of course sometimes buildings do just catch fire.
