An exotic dance club on Detroits west side has gone up in flames.
The fire took off early Wednesday morning at the Watts Mozambique Lounge on Fenkell Avenue and Northlawn Street, just east of Wyoming Avenue.
This nightclub has been here for many, many years and we do understand its an exotic dancing, male-type of club here. The roof is about 30 percent engulfed in flames right now, said WWJs Bill Szumanski from about the scene in Chopper 950. Next door to it, adjacent, is a hair and nail salon and crews are now trying to keep the flames from jumping over to that building.
Reporting live from the scene, WWJs Charlie Langton said several fire engines were trying to extinguish the flames, which were shooting through the roof with plumes of black smoke.
Its unclear if anyone was in the building when the fire started, or if anyone is injured.
Firefighters are apparently having issues at the scene with working hydrants.
Officials have shut down Fenkell Avenue at Northlawn as crews continue to battle the blaze. Motorists are advised to avoid the area.
Authorities say its too early to determine a cause of the fire.
Roasted wieners?
Did Sharpton have an office in the building?
DEE-troit’s only source of revenue ... up in flames
"Firefighters are apparently having issues at the scene with working hydrants."
Didn't we just read about Detroit fining people for using water illegally or something like that ?
Mayhaps the Mosambique (Amish, fer sher) dint pay their bill ... hmmmm ?
Huh? So, it's fags dancing in there? Fags dressed as women? If that's the case, the wig and beauty supply place probably have the same clientele.
Translation: strip joint for pud-gummers.
They’ve still got the corner of South Saginaw and Dort up in Flint.
What is an “exotic dance club”?
Even the hydrants in Detroit don’t work.
It appears to be a club for the ladies, featuring male “dancers”.
Homer Simpson gets his justification...
“I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my homosexuals FFLLLAAY-MING!”
Never go to a bar called the “Watts Mozambique Lounge.”
Funny thing is, I have a business client on Fenkell so I’ve driven by that location countless times without even noticing it was there.
Not that I would have been tempted to stop in.
“Never get out of the boat!”
I had to take a detour to watch a couple of videos of that song. It's been covered by so many bands. A classic.
Yeah, that nail salon next door sounds eerily familiar, don't it?
beat me by 60 secs LOL
