There were 85 fires in Detroit last night and while not certain they're arson (high winds and downed power lines in the area), the fire department is intimating some are. This is reminiscent of the fires that made this city famous for the problems around Halloween, and Halloween Eve. Last Friday, an arsonist torched a famous art deco building in Highland Park. A structural landmark that stood for 80 years, it's gone forever now.
Soon there will be nothing left of the east side of Detroit. I bet those bedbugs I saw last night will survive, though.
I'm still itching.

Oh, tha's awful about the fires - and the special building. What a shame!
I thought it was only roaches that could survive a holocaust? Now, I have to fear bedbugs, too.
God it sounds awful!! Stay safe..
Wow, I keep hoping Detroit will come back. There are some wonderful brick bungalows. My grandparents grew up in D and my uncle told stories of how he use to sleep on Belle Isle during hot summer nights.
how very sad... and the bedbugs? ewww! creepy little dickens. the first thing i do when i go to a hotel or a cruise is move the sheets and look in the edges of the mattress. i am terrified of getting them!

As I read this...Katie Coric was reporting it on the news. 80 homes...that is awful. She said no one was injured. Bedbugs??? Yikes!
So sad...I hope they catch the idiot that is doing this.
Rudee, that is horrible about all of those fires. Did you have a lot of storms or did the wind blow down the power lines?
FP, it was mainly really high winds--no rain, no lighting. At the root of the problem is the fact that in this area, faulty wiring from people stealing electricity from Edison's main lines creates huge safety issues.
From experience I know that "unsafe" feeling when fires are so close by...take care!
