01/01/2010. My year started off with a return to KD Station, a building in Sioux City I've been casually (perhaps randomly) documenting for the past few years. It used to be a meat packing plant. Today, my father told me that among it's employees was my Grandma, Arlone Malcom, who worked on the floor doing the messy stuff. KD Station became home to various businesses beginning in the 1970s. Siouxland natives have fond memories of the bowling alley, costume shop, and Mexican restaurant. The building was condemned in 2004, and a 2006 fire prompted demolition plans. Since my last shoot in 2008, cranes and wrecking balls have moved onto the scene, and demolition has progressed.
Very interesting!
