This reminds of Ponce City Market (https://www.poncecitymarket.com/) in Atlanta.

It's sort of by itself right now, but if the emerald trail and restored Hogan's creek happen adjacent it will be huge fire this place.

Does anyone know what's on fire over in Springfield, the Eastside or somewhere in between.  I'm hoping it's not the Union Terminal but it's in that area.  The building is mostly gutted concrete at this point so I don't know what much there'd be to burn, but there's a lot of smoke.

"We ended up with three houses on fire at one point. The main house was destroyed. We had a substantial collapse to it. It was not safe for our firefighters to make the entrance. They started to but were quickly called out for their safety," Prosswimmer said.

Investigators said two of three homes were definitely vacant and the third home was under renovation but they were not sure if anyone lived in it.
