Posted August 1, 200717 yr While I was driving home about half an hour ago, I was going down Monument Street from Keowee to Findlay Street since a street was closed along the usual way I take. I happened to glance over at one of the buildings on the south side of the street...maybe the one east of the Rumpke recycling building or maybe a part of the Rumpke "complex" and there appeared to be a uncontrolled fire inside. I turned around and drove by again, but a police office came up behind me--probably headed to one of the city facilities along there. It looked like he turned in by the fire when he noticed me slowing down and checking it out, so I didn't call 911, but it looked like it had to potential to be a huge fire. Of course, I didn't have my camera with me (maybe its best since I really don't feel like being questioned as an arson suspect). Anyway, to get to my point, I remember there was a photo thread of this area on here a while back, but I can't find it at all. I wanted to take a look and try to figure out which building it was, but I can't find the thread. Any other Dayton forumers remember this thread?
