Title: Fire on S. Portland
Post by: northside lurker on January 11, 2011, 06:36:02 PM
When walking home this evening, I saw this house had burned.  The first floor windows were boarded up, the second floor windows were broken out, and there were burn marks from the attic windows.  :'(

I'm pretty sure it was arson, because it was bank owned, and was vacant for quite some time.

I have to wonder, does the arsonist (if it was arson) think they are doing the neighborhood a favor?  Or are they just sick, and want to see stuff burn?
