The Western Metal Supply Company building was deemed historical and therefore not allowed to be torn down. Petco Park was built around it.
The Showley Bros Candy Factory is also historical but was originally located within the present ballpark. A local that we bumped into who was friends with a transplant, wearing a Wawa sweatshirt, told us they lifted and moved the building for construction of the ballpark.
The neighborhood was recently gentrified as a result of the park and has very nice restuarants and highrise condos with views.
