      Fun fact time! Heinz originated in Pittsburgh and used to have a massive factory built in the 1910’s, and when it shut down they eventually renovated it into apartments. The buildings are now all named after what they once produced there - Bean Building, Meat Building, Cereal Building, Reservoir Building, and Shipping Building.

      It’s rumored that the Meat Building has a vibrant gay community.

      The Heinz who started the company was the son of German immigrant parents, hence the surname.
