Old RC Cola Plant

Two reviews and both used the word «saunter.» I love it. It’s a nice woody word Sauuunnnnterrrrrrr

It’s an abandoned building! It’s Public Art! It’s a Grafitti Mural! It’s a Movie Set!
It’s the Old RC Cola Plant!
George M. gave a great historical lesson on it, and I had the chance to check it out during the Wynwood Art Fair this afternoon legally ;) I’m half tempted to take out a star because there were no industrial piping by where they used to make the soda, but there was killer grafitti and you could inhale the history in the air, and see some real cool industrial architecture. I also got to see the making of an action film while sauntering through the facility.
This place has potential too, for either a killah Halloween party or Full Moon drumming!

So you’ve been to Wynwood Walls on a certain Saturday and think street art is just tubular Well, why don’t you sauner on over a couple blocks and check this place out Mostly filled with local graffiti artist (different than street artist) and not containing the creature comforts of a restaurant on the premises I find The Plant to be a little more interesting and infinitely grimmier The best time to check out the art inside is on a random weeknd day On the south side of the grounds there is/​was a hole in the wall that you could crawl through to scope out the guts of this graffiti magnet
Graffiti timeline of the RC Cola Plant: (thank you New times)
*Early 1990s: The words «Yammy, Yammy, Miami» are displayed on one of the walls
*1995 through 1998: All illegal pieces
*1999: Illegal blockbuster done by graffiti legends Crook and Crome (Crook and Crome are two of Miami’s most infamous graffiti writers. During the height of the controversy surrounding these two artists, they executed an enormous blockbuster on this wall during the daytime.)
*2000−2001: Lebo painted the wall and was dissed by Miami graffiti writers. (Lebo Lebatard is a Miami artist with a fantastic career. He is known for painting a lot of music-​inspired works of art and is the brother of the sports writer and radio host Dan Lebatard. The reason it got dissed is because the wall belonged to Miami Graffiti writers, and Lebo painted over their works. Though he is a respected artist, he’s not a street artist. It probably wasn’t intentional, but that’s what happened.)
*2002: Meks, Aim Crew, Freek, Ultra, Gwiz, Dam Crew, Cure, Msix, Bane, MSG, and the inkheads painted a mural for use in the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious.
*2005 (est.): Altoids uses local graffiti artists to create a writer’s album for promotional purposes.
*2008: Primary Flight takes over the plant with permission from its current owners.
*2009: Primary Flight redoes both the interior and exterior of the property for Art Basel.
*2010: Primary Flight will again rework the old RC Cola Plant as part of its Art Basel installation.
