Ah!, we have come to the Saginaw River in Essexville, Michigan, to greet the MV Hilke, a cargo ship owned by SAL Heavy Lift GmbH of Hamburg, Germany, a subsidiary of Harren & Partner of Bremen, Germany. The vessel was built in February 2010 by Taizhou Kouan Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. of Gaogang District, Taizhou, China. It was known as the MV Palabora until 2019. We track its location at all times. We like the yellow-gray-and-green of it.

I like how some of the dirty riverwater got stranded over here on the riverbank, to stagnate and stink in the summer sun. I genuinely like it!

L@@k at those storage tanks at that asphalt plant across the river!

I love diagonal wooden siding!! The bedquilt-style paintjob will be perfect for this.

Concerts etc are also performed here but I know it mostly from pro wrestling events.

It was originally the Empire Theater. Five of the six letters of "Empire" were rearranged to spell "Prime." According to the Bay Area GIS Viewer it was built in 1947, but elsewhere online it said to have opened in 1948. It operated as a theater until 1979 and later was a nightclub. It became the Prime Event Center in 2008.
