488 Janette

December 28, 2006

For today’s photo, we head over to 488 Janette Ave. in the downtown core area.

This flop house caught fire about a month ago, and is still stitting in its burned out state.

Neighbours complained that it was a crack house, and it apparently was well known to police. I doubt many tears were shed when it went up in flames. Hopefully it gets removed soon, I for one couldn’t imagine living next to this burnt out mess. Maybe the Windsor Star will see this and run an article on it ;).

    The owner or the city should rip this place down before someone burns it again. I don’t know what’s worse the crack houses in 500 block of Janette or the so-called homes the hookers operate out of. The city needs to clean this scum up.
