Shit , I used to hang out in these buildings, party in them. There was a bunch of brand new still in plastic, furniture from the 40s and 50s. I mean 2-3 wallmarts full worth , There was factory equipment ect. Stuff from aircraft manufacturing during ww2. All kinds of stuff. I really don't think it was arson to cover up the chemicals ect. It was either crackheads who hung out on the first floor of the one building, or kids being stupid, or possibly to cover up body's rumored to have been disposed of in the basement where the coal used to be stored.

Damn!!This was my hood..i could never this...till now

[@jessewoody5772]

Crooked businessmen, crooked politics, greed . Thats what causes this stuff to happen. Cities need to stop building owners from just walking away from their responsibility. Dont think for a minute that someone wasnt getting payola to let those barrels of toxic waste be put there. Boyas did the same thing at the Garfield hts. landfill that became the beautiful City View Mall.

I was less than one year old and I do not remember any of this!

What streets exactly? What's there now?

[@SpicyGramCracker]

How old are you? It wasn’t called the ‘Broadway fire’. Reporting and documenting relies on accuracy. Everyone knew what was in their. Everyone knew people squatted there and that’s sadly how the fire started. Thanks for posting:)
