I did not mean any disrespect ,what I’m saying is the building is no longer used as living accomodations as it was previously, the people that use to live there had to move, but lets face it there are people who do live on the street and they are homeless. What I was saying is hopefully none of them were in the building because they have been know to go there to sleep.

same guy who owns the Spot..he was waiting for economy to improve before beginning improvements on the whole area.
Shame though..if this hotel was improved it could have provided a different option to the expensive hotels throughout the Island..could have been used for traveller boarding or as an option for those here for Spring Break.

I remember reading that no insurance company would insure the building. At least Ted wont have to worry about the cost of tearing it down.

ok ok. Fire station around the corner. The blaze was high. Thus use of accelerant!
Common sense
via. Wiki…

Accelerants play a major role in chemistry. Most chemical reactions can be hastened with an accelerant. Accelerants alter a chemical bond, speed up a chemical process, or bring organisms back to homeostasis. Accelerants are not necessarily catalysts as they may be consumed by the process. An accelerant can be any substance that can bond, mix, or disturb another substance and cause an increase in the speed of a natural, or artificial chemical process.
