Love it or hate it, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer is an icon of the American culture. From the opening scene of
Laverne and Shirley
in the bottling factory (filmed in the building on the left in the first picture) to Dennis Hopper's reference between Heineken and Pabst Blue Ribbon in the 1986 movie
Blue Velvet
(I'll let you, the reader, look that one up) it's everywhere you go, especially if you're willing to look for it.
The buildings have fortunately been saved and are one by one being converted into new, usable, office and living space. It's nice to see that in a disposable world, some pieces of our history and culture are being saved, even if it is just on the surface.
