Post by: Rushblvd on August 25, 2020, 03:21:35 PM
Interesting that this is still standing; and its from February 2020 :'(


[size=18px !important]Officials from the city of Youngstown have ordered that the Brothers of Power Club be demolished, citing unsafe conditions and lack of structural integrity. [/size]



[size=18px !important]The bar, located on Logan Avenue on the Northside of Youngstown, was the location of the city's latest fatal shooting.[/size]



[size=18px !important]City Law Director Jeff Limbian said the Youngstown fire chief had ordered the building to be demolished. [/size]



[size=18px !important]"After the shooting brought attention to the building, officials saw how deplorable the structure was," Limbian said. "The whole structure according to fire chief Findlay is unsafe and he will not have his firefighters go in there."[/size]



[size=18px !important]The bar is described as being structurally unsound. The basement is holding up the structure with buckling 2x4 pieces of wood, and the building has multiple holes in the roof and walls.[/size]

Still there huh? That sure is interesting . . . Must not be as great a danger as was portrayed. I see Chief Finley has his toe dipped in this mess as well, also not surprised.
