Tenants ordered to vacate Detroit's Russell Industrial Center

[Honky Tonk]

There are major differences between Russel Industrial Center and Oakland's "Ghost Ship". The Ghost Ship was basically a wooden structure within cinder block walls. Russel Industrial Center is an "industrial" poured concrete structure, a majority of the sections are separated by fire doors. That said, the building does contain wooden walls and items that will burn, if they catch on fire, but a disaster on the scale of Oakland, is unlikely. Given the speed and finality of the bum's rush and closure with which Russel Industrial Center was handled, I can't help wondering if someone with some money and clout doesn't have their eye on that building.
