If you do any traveling on I-10, chances are you have seen McKinney Wrecking across from UTEP.<\/p>\n

\"McKinney<\/a><\/dt>\n
McKinney Wrecking<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

As far as I know, it’s the only recycled building materials lot in El Paso (the only interesting one anyway.) \u00a0The main building that houses their offices was once part of Prices Dairy and was moved to its current location next to Globe Mills some time in the 80’s. \u00a0If a large building is torn down in El Paso, chances are any\u00a0historically\u00a0significant\u00a0pieces (valuable too) will wind up here.<\/p>\n

\"Herald<\/a><\/dt>\n
Closed in 97, housed here since<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

From used claw foot tubs, doors, cabinets and lighting\u00a0fixtures, if it can be reused\u00a0they’ve got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Broke,<\/a><\/dt>\n
Broke, not baroque<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\"Dudley's<\/a><\/dt>\n
Dudley’s Seats<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

You want some beer and nacho soaked seats from Dudley field? You’d better hurry, they only have 3 rows left! Are you tired of the\u00a0neighbors parking in front of your driveway? Set up a large no parking sign:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Parking\"<\/a><\/dt>\n
Parking<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

You will need to supply your own “No” though. \u00a0Fun fact, this sign is from the parking garage that used to be at\u00a0Mills and Oregon, prominently used in the the first “The Getaway” movie. It has since been demolished and replaced with a bigger garage.<\/p>\n

You can\u00a0wander\u00a0around the lot for hours and any given time you stop by you are\u00a0guaranteed to see something new. When I was walking around I noticed something on one of the Globe Mills silos that I\u00a0hadn’t\u00a0noticed before:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Cream<\/a><\/dt>\n
This would be tough to see from the freeway<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

It’s almost baked off but the faint remains of an old Cream of Wheat sign can be seen on one of the silos. \u00a0I walked around a bit more and snapped a few more pictures, of which you can see here: McKinney Wrecking<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
