Fire on Jefferson - Abandoned Somerset Apartments Ruins Destroyed

In just a couple weeks we've lost this guy, the University Club, a Heidelberg House, the St. Josephat steeple, and I'm sure dozens of old homes.

There isn't going to be anything left of Detroit worth saving if this keeps up. Just cinder block liquor stores.

It's the old Somerset Apt complex. Some arsonist or squatter got inside light up the place with fire. Making the Lafayette Park area look silly.

If we went to the site of those places [[except for the homes, of course) a year from today, I'll correctly predict a McDonald's will be built on all three non-home sites.
