I didn't know it was abandoned smh. Atp I believe developers are burning buildings down. Im still trying to figure out why they still have the old Lexington Market building sitting there vacant and the old Social Security building. They can make them FREE parking lots atp but it's all about 🤑💲
Thank God, they clarified that this was a five alarm fire. I was really worried that it was a three alarm or four alarm fire, but this really clarifies it for me. Thank you so much, Richard.
These are the buildings the city didn’t approve to demolish for redevelopment because they wanted them preserved and now 5 of them are completely destroyed and have to be demolished. One the city even did themselves it was such a hazard. Sounds like a way to bypass a hold up in redevelopment
That is how they do it
Anyone recording please get back. Those buildings are 200+ years old and full of asbestos
Homelessness is at a all time high. Sad but true
