We’re not in Walden pond anymore Toto.
I have read about suspicious fires around here over the years in the San Fernando Valley.
There was a turn of the century old west train station that was not being used and was then a rundown building in Canoga Park. There was a group of people who wanted to preserve it. There were others who wanted to build a strip mall. This was I think in the 1990’s.
It mysteriously burned down.
There is now a strip mall there that is always packed with customers.
There was a city golf course clubhouse in Sepulvada area that needed to be modernized but the arguments was there was not enough money.
It mysteriously burned down.
There is now a modernized clubhouse.
A small printing company that as far as I know printed up among things like campaign posters, pamphlets etc for the democrats not far up the block from where I live in Canoga Park and whose parking lot out front had the expensive europeon type cars. It mysteriously burned down.
The news article I read said arson. I suspected insurance fraud.
A few years ago a homeless bum set fire to a strip mall twice on Victory blvd.
Some people like to see the world burn for money and just because.
