The Dockside Warehouse District, where every final fight in cinema history has been held, is much bigger than you'd think and somehow always lit from below. I spent a weekend there. Nobody knows what's stored in the crates. I opened one. It was full of smaller crates, stacked so they'd topple dramatically. The locals call this "inventory." Chains hang from every ceiling for no industrial reason. I asked a foreman what they were for and he said, "Swinging," and walked off into a column of steam that had not been there a second earlier. The steam is free and constant. Nobody pays the bill. Nobody has ever seen the pipe. Every building has exactly one forklift, keys in, waiting to be driven through a wall. Every skylight is pre-cracked for convenience. Rain falls inside even when it's sunny outside, which the tourism board describes as "mood." Best meal of the trip was at a café that closed at midnight because a man in a long coat needed the room to have a quiet word with his former mentor. Would go back. Would bring a coat.
