too early for the trucks

... and so early in the morning I'd not had my coffee so I don't remember which company this is with its elegant fold-up loading dock on a narrow street. I have a feeling it might be one of the Cambridge Brands buildings. They're a subsidiary of the Tootsie Roll Company and make such candies as Charleston Chews, Junior Caramels, and some of the special Tootsie Roll minis. The air always smells sweet when you walk by, though not as sweet as when the Necco Wafer Factory used to churn them out just down the street. The two factories together made for an amazing rich walking experience... and on a breezy day you could tell which Necco Water flavor was being made that day from my then apartment almost a mile away. Sadly the Necco Wafer factory has moved- to Revere if I recall. View On Black
