Fire On Broad / Arson

When are they going to tear that eyesore down? When is the trial? Is Mike in jail?

I was wondering the same thing. I would think the neighbors would want the house down. I didn't know anything about a trial....of course I didn't know it was arson either.

We were told by a very reliable source, a human, not the WWW, that he was charged with arson. During the fire he supposedly sat in a lawn chair in the driveway and watched in burn. Again, supposedly. The windows are slowly being knocked out. Of course this IS Salamanca. It could sit there for decades. I feel bad for the neighbors too.

Must have a great insurance policy....what other reason could there be. What a shame.

What house on Broad St.?

It's down near Parkview. Couldn't see a house #, but the one next door was 600.

One of the first boa constrictors deliberately imported into New York State was tanked at a Broad Street address -- the boa was removed with intent to house the creature in the Pittsburgh, PA, zoo. However, the zoo management at that time in mid-1970s decided to take the hard tack and would not accept the creature without relay from a licensed dealer; telephone hazing from some special interest groups at the time blocked any resolution of the issue. As a result from such networking interference, the imported snakes have been escaping and reproducing in the FL Everglades, growing large enough to swallow lost people without opposition. McDonald's 'Happy Meal' toys have been more of a priority here in the United States than controls over the importation of reptiles indigenous to continents outside the U. S..

If I ever go to Florida I'm going to make darn sure I don't get lost!!

Does anyone know for a fact that it was arson?

More windows broken out on the side, come on Salamanca, clean this up!
