We were all just talking about why this one had not been demolished yet on the Luben thread.
La Nain Rouge gone wild.

god dammit, with all the fires in detroit I say [[with mock seriousness) there should be some sort of a small scale ban on lighters and matches, or restriction. I mean coming in from Tecumseh on 94 every second or third house is burnt out on either side of the freeway. Further east you get the worse off it is. It's pathetic. And frankly I'm angry about it.
If the city can't tear it down, Burn it down!
How much of this is krackheds and how much is professional arsonists I wonder ...
Christ. It never ends...
WOW....... that really did a number on it. One more should do it.
seems like yesterday we were mourning the loss of the masks, now seems they were saved. Amazing what a little perspective puts on it.
Or was the removal of the comedy masks and the fires a sequence of events ?
I don't think it's either. I think it's purely psychotics that get their rocks off on fire.
I believe that there is correlation between the fires by the accessability off the freeways. Ez off and on. Maybe some type of fire porn? Think about it.
That was a lot of square footage to be burned by a pyro.
Here is a video clip surveying the aftermath:

The ENTIRE apartment complex is now leveled - that was three separate blocks out of 5 that make up the whole building. Each part was divided with a fire wall. What was left after the last fire was the back corner block which was intact, and the remains of the center connecting block which sat next to the office/lobby/ballroom block in front of the theater box. The corner block was taken out by the last fire, leaving a giant gap between the two remaining apartment sections.
So this fire was lit in two separated areas to be this complete.
If I was a pyro -I would have burned the theater both times - NOT the boring living quarters area.
Great photos btw mauser, I really enjoy them. I wish you didn't have these things to photograph though lol. Those on the Luben were great.
But you're right...totally would have burned the theater.
AIW had linked to your site as well for the Luben on a new forum he's trying out on IM. There's not much going on on it right now, but I don't think people are very used to that kind of thing on his site. I hope it picks up though, Windsor could use it's own DYes! type forum to share ideas, frustration and history.
.......was that a plug I just did?
Oh - ill check that out for sure.
Mauser, hate to confuse the argument with facts, but theaters are kind of difficult to burn because they weren't made of flammable materials. after the disastrous fire at Chicago's Iroquois theatre [[1903) the buiding codes for theaters changed nationwide. Theaters of that vintage are Steel, brick and plaster. Some wood on the stage floor, but that is about it. Many theater complexes that included offices or apartments have those portions supported by wood framing, because the code allowed it and it was cheaper.

Thanks for putting it all into perspective 56packman... no wonder the theatre won't burn.... and the Iroquois Theatre fire may explain why the architects name... Benjamin Marshall.... doesn't ring a bell. The incident likely ruined his career.
It seems as though theatre's learned their lesson from that fire... too bad nightclubs didn't learn theirs.... the famous Cocoanut Grove Fire of Boston of 1942...

Huh ?
Not sure what argument you are trying to confuse with your rather obvious observations. I agree, theater box is built different. So what.
The flamibility has nothing to do with someone trying to burn it, and there is no visual evidence of anything trying to be burned in the theater either time. If I was a pyro I would try to burn the theater.
there - now exhale. jeezuz.
