Data Centers are in the news these days. Does everybody know there is a huge one in Lowell, right here in South Lowell? I'm posting the area where residents live, then end with the Data Center.

This was the original entrance to the old Prince Spaghetti Factory on Moore Street after the land and buildings were sold to the Markley Company. Unfortunately, I never took a before picture even though I worked there until it closed. I rode around and took photos of the huge building, not knowing what was inside, it seemed so mysterious. Also, which were old Prince building or new Markley ones. The photo was taken on April 23, 2017.
The above photo was taken on October 18, 2015. I think I took this picture from Lawrence Street.
These two photos show what the area looks like in December 2021. The old factory and restaurant were torn down. There is a black iron fence around the entire facility. Photo taken on Newhall Street.
I took this photo when I worked at Prince. Other photos may be seen from my blog at: https://lifefromtheroots.blogspot.com/2015/01/there-is-lot-to-like-about-lowell_7.html
