Job Corps in Flames

Trying again...photos of old Job Corps building

[avs]

It is coming down now - i just heard there is a crane over there.

wish they could leave the front facade standing, like they did with the old Heard National Bank building.

That's a real shame.  Along with the Karpeles, this was one of my favorite two Springfield buildings.

so sad .

That Heard National Bank thing was an accident. This isn't Savannah or Charleston.  


Bennett Rice Mill in Charleston


Silky O'Sullivan's bar and restaurant on Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee. Formerly the Gallina Building, the structure is about 100 years old.

You do know this is Jax right?

The Claude Nolan building will be next.  I have either called JSO on flagged an officer down on several instances because I have seen people going in on the Orange St side doors near the front.

Just drove by, crane is there but no action yet.  Plenty of news crews though so it will be videoed.

SheClown or Nicole.

Do we have a catalogue of photos of all the buildings that have been burned by arson?

Perhaps we could get a comparison of what they all have in common.

Perhaps common tenants, owners, property managers or contractors.

Yes.  Photos and addresses, but I'll need a day or two.  3 fires on Ionia were owned by the same person, there is an urban legend about the reason for the fires.  Some love triangle.

Are these homeless people you are seeing?

I've been in the building twice with one of the leasing agents for the site and that is the usual the point of entry. They have had quite a bit of interest in that building, so it could just be potential users/business people.

There are also rumors about a local arsonist and we all know it.  Living on the eastside.

^ She is correct. 

I have contacted the fire chief.  He did respond but didn't give much substance, just "rest assured we are aware and actively looking into it."  I contacted him again today along with Gaffney's office.

Not unles the potential users/business people had shopping carts and were riding BMX bikes after dark.  The did seem to be of the Urban Outdoorsman variety.

With all these fires, and more and more vacant lots, it seems like SPR is moving backward instead of forward.......
