Up In Flames

I was taking a walk the other day, and a couple blocks east of my house was this fine establishment.


It's a bit difficult to see from the photograph, but the doors and windows have been boarded up with plywood. The tops of the windows, doorways, and roof are blackened from what appears to have been a fire.

The sad part of the story is that there are a dozen other houses like this on the block, boarded up, not from from fires that ravaged these homes, but from foreclosure and neglect.
