OS Fashions On Fire!! + Ignoring Stop Signs?

Hey all,

Late Saturday night, OS Fashions on Joseph Campau north of Holbrook was ablaze. Joseph Campau was closed off from Yemans to Holbrook. Two engines responded. The air in the vicinity was thick with smoke.
At the time I talked to a police officer, a cause of the blaze was unknown. Police had the area closed off until at least midnight.

Here's what gets me steamed. The building does have the usual black iron gate covering it, but that's all. No wooden boards, no plastic sheeting, not even a tarp. The building should be closed off to passers by, if only to protect from ashes being blown around by trhe wind. The sidewalk outside the store is covered with pieces of twisted, burnt metal and glass.

I have the say that whoever is in charge of cleaning up after a fire did a horrible job. The building is not only a safety hazard, but an eyesore as well.

Soapbox time!!

I was watching out of my second story window and counted fourteen cars that ran the stopsign in the alley behind the former Miller Funeral Home at Lehman and Campau. It's impossible to see a pedestrian walking along the side of Miller's, and its an accident that will happen if nothing is done. The stopsign is there for a reason but not many people seem to obey it. Only one car in the time I watched, actually stopped and inched forward to look for people. Kudos to you, whoever you are.

UPDATE:
The building has been boarded up and it looks like contractors have already been hired to rebuild. I saw a nice ford truck outside and several people with clipboards.
