History in Stickers

12/5/2017

 
During renovation we came across stickers, some of which had been covered up for years. Durham Fruit was occupied (apparently) by a company known as "Mountain Warehouse" in the 80's, and we found this sticker on the elevator door. In the early 2000's, it was known as the Antimall, home to the Electric Blender shop and 305 South music venue, perhaps where one could enjoy Metal Matinee Saturday. More recently we see three artist badges from Moogfest 2016, secured now for posterity under a metal stud for a bathroom. And from a range of recent years, the stickers by The Floor, a group which led the Moogfest all-night afterparty was placed on a column with graffiti perhaps left during art installations by Heather Carrol and Kai Barrow.  Corrections to this history are welcome. -tim-

Love that this space just will not die. We we're frequent visitors to the anti-mall and saw Lake Placid in the big room that used to have the skate ramp in it.

Before we had Weaver Street Market or Durham Coop, we had small “neighborhood” coops. Mountain Warehouse was one of the major suppliers to our little co-op in Hillsborough in the mid-80s.
