World's Largest Paper Cup



World's Largest Paper Cup: "The World's Largest Paper Cup was a surprise stop for me - I had planned onavoiding the LA area, but dipped down to this area on the way through. I got there just as the sun was setting, so barely had time to get a photo before dark. Unfortunately, I don't know the near future for the Paper Cup - the building seemed to be taken over for another purpose, with a furniture liquidation sale going on inside. The logo on the cup had been painted over, as well as original sineage from the building taken down. The man in the little security booth didn't know what industry had been there (but he guessed it had something to do with making paper cups), or who to contact. Another collosus of the road in limbo. I hear there's another one in Kentucky.

Way over three stories - that's a warehouse/manufacturing building right behind it, for scale. Painted concrete. That's all I got.

UPDATE: Just got an email from a Riverside resident - it used to have the teal splash logo foundon most Dixie cups - so, I'm assuming this was a Dixie Cup manufacturer, but take that with a grain of salt.

Hey - how 'bout moving it a little closer to a giant coffeepot? I know of quite a few..."
