Having to fulfil our civic duties as rubberneckers, we drove over to check it out...just in time to see the parameds taking a stretcher into the house. We knew that was a bad sign. I counted at least a dozen ambulences/fire trucks/cops/anything with flashing lights. While I'd never actually been to that house (but heard plenty of stories), one of my dad's good friends lives on Jackson (Aaron Stevenson, Photog) and we used to always watch the fireworks from his pad when I was younger...great view. But you're right, it was only a matter of time, ironic that it would happen after it was condemned.
