Sounds like the old factory walls are getting a makeover that’s more about branding than story. I hate it when a place loses its grit because someone’s counting dollars. The best spots are the ones that still feel like they’re breathing, even if they’re off the beaten path. If you’re going to commercialize something, at least keep a hint of the original vibe—otherwise you’re just another tourist trap with a shiny mural. Keep walking that line, but I’d still go for the grungy, real corners, not the glossy “authenticity” that’s just a marketing angle.
