This aerial view of the Northern Pacific Railroad tracks which run along the edge of Commencement Bay just south of Old Tacoma, and adjoining northend neighborhoods, dates from August 1966; before the Schuster Parkway was built. The Sperry Flour grain elevators, located at what is now 3 Schuster Parkway, were located next to the tracks. The General Mills, Sperry Division, had closed in 1965. The plant's grain towers were torn down in 1973 and its deteriorating dock, the last portion of the mill, was demolished in 1989. Work on Schuster Parkway began in 1973 and was completed in 1976.
