River's Edge Paper Mill (Abandoned) Off on the edge of town, next to the river, is a huge warehouse.    Sandwitched between the railroad tracks and the river this enormous structure now sits abandoned and abused. A large scaffold built on top of the structure holds a sign that matches the fading words on the side; "River's Edge Paper Co. EST 1899".  The long side of the rectangular mill building facing the railroad tracks has 3 large double doors, each overhung with an archaic and heavy duty metal track. The rusted steel rails jut out 2 feet from the top of the double-doors 8 foot height. These tracks were obviously used to offload supplies from trains that would pull alongside the mill. The doors themselves are a mess of grafitti and rust-stains. Thick chains bound by rust encrusted locks serve to seal these doors shut.  The river side of the mill sits opposite the railroad side. A large waterwheel extends into the river, no longer turning because of a rusty axle and years of neglect. Towards one corner of the wood and sheet-metal building the construction turns to brick and actually dips out into the river. This brick part of the building extends up above the rest of the roof, growing into a 120ft tall thick, brick chimney, and across the back of the mill.  Directly across the river from the brick portion of Rivers Edge sits another brick smokestack attached to a small brick shack. This smokestack rises 80ft and has the paper mill's logo fading on it heights. A portion of one of the walls has collapsed, and the stale smell of urine and alcohol waft from its interior.  The front side of the mill building has 2 doors. One of them is a huge hangar-door style portal, the other a simple wooden door. The hangar-doors are chained in a similiar way to the railroad doors, though with a newer lock. The "small" wooden door, had a single glass window, now boarded over. It is locked and deadbolted.  The interior of the mill reeks of long used chemicals, and the floor is covered with animal droppings and other detritus. The metal tracks above the railroad facing doors blossoms into a full system of rails that occupies much of the roof. Huge metal machines sit abandoned, spaced at intervals only the factories foreman could understand. A single stairway sits in the middle of the river-side of the interior, climbing a half-flight to an office that looks out over the floor. A single locked, iron door sits in the back corner where the brick part of the structure lies.  The inside of the mill holds an atmosphere of corruption and decay, but that's just the chemicals...right?</blockquote>
