I'm told, Terminal Island used to have fancy homes all along Seaside Avenue, and all the street names reflect it's importantce as a fishing port, Tuna St., Pilchard Ave. Now, much of it is devote dto shipping facilities,which expand every year. While many smaller boats still call Fish Harbor on the west end of Terminal Island home, the industry is a shadow of its former self. Terminal Island used to be home to at least three canneries not so long ago. The fisherman's co-op cannery closed due to mismanagement and was torn down, the pet food cannery moved its main canning operation to the midwest (no great loss to us as sampling there was an exercise in developing a strong stomach), and this building was the last tuna cannery in the continental U.S. They finally moved all their operations to Costa Rica and American Samoa and the plant is for sale, but for several years there have been no takers.

Turning up the color saturation doesn't keep this from being a boring picture.
