I can't believe the number of homes that have been removed to provide land for industry near the downtown area.

By 1977, the homes had been removed for a new version of the mill. But the homes had not yet been cleared for the Chevron biodiesel plant.

The new mill had already been built by 1965.

A Google Maps label is Bunge hominy loading bay. I could not find any thing about hominy on Bunge's website, but I did find that they sell hominy and white corn meal in 50lb bags on AllBulkFoods.
At least some of those 50lb bags are shipped in containers. And this photo provides another view of the pneumatic trailers that we see in the above street view. Are they used for shipping white corn meal?

Is this hominy being shipped in open trailers. It doesn't look like the trailers have hopper bottoms like grain trucks do. I wonder how they are unloaded.

At least the third one in this line has hopper bottoms. I came across some comments about truckers having to wait 15 hours in a line to get loaded.
