Former Pinball Pete's building on fire in downtown Ann Arbor

[WaterWorldMI]

1:08 "there's so many people out here"

lol it was saturday night at 1030 on south u of course theres a bunch of people. that building has been vacant forever.

I live in university towers and that day was really horrible. I think even the crime rate in AA is lower than average of Michigan, there are still a plenty of them. Alertness emails are often sent to students to inform new cases of sexual assault, robbery around. I am still skeptical about the causes of fire, but hope it won't happen again as U towers a very old residential building as well.

I think south university has a much higher crime rate then most places in ann arbor for some resone, could it be all the young people ?

anyway i think i get it town now,most parks of town have a very low crime rate and what left

have some what of a high crime rate, people always get stabbed on south u.

[WaterWorldMI]

@goodozog people always get stabbed on south u? i've never heard that before. i think downtown especially that area which is full of restaurants and bars is extremely safe

[goodozog]

@WaterWorldMI well, I don't think it's so safe at night but then again it isn't Detroit.

[goodozog]

@dickson4252001 the propetry crime rate in Ann Arbor is about the same as Michigan average and violent is lower.but at the same time miller manor has a little more violent crime,if you've been following the news also there where a few "very" violent crime committed on south u in the past but no murders.

Went to school in Ann Arbor....fuck Ann Arbor...epicenter of yuppies. Little idyllic bubble removed from reality .

[magicalpj]

Either your memory of Ann Arbor isn't as good as you think it is, or you have a misunderstanding of the definition of yuppie. Do you mean hippies?

[okturus]

no, i mean yuppie. although, i met a couple yuppie hippies too. you know the kind, poser hippies...not real hippies--just affluent yuppies with dreads and bad hygiene who asked their parents for weed money.

[j00d4n]

sounds like hippies to me. Stop being daft, retarded and stupid at the same time. And we're so removed from reality, your little closed circle called a mind can't take in someone elses opinion? Fuck off.

[okturus]

eat a dick bitch and get fucked by an elephant--how's that for opinion faggot?

[WaterWorldMI]

@okturus thats what uofm is like, and of course the grads are yuppies, but a lot of the people who don't live downtown and aren't affiliated with the school are cool people

[goodozog]

Ann arbor has a low violent crime rate but not the lowest i think ,it's funny how people have a false scene of security ,people get stabbed on south university all the time .

[goodozog]

@mitercut where a live in ann arbor it really, you know working class people

affordable housing still exist on the north side we have blue collar worker living here.

[alexandermakrianis]

I live in Saginaw and I don't think I've ever been to Ann Arbor but I know what you mean. I can't stand yuppies. My friend went to school in AA too and lived there for about 5 years. He kind of turned out that way too.

[goodozog]

@alexandermakrianis ann arbor is a place where the poor are surround by the rich in there small sections 8 apartments.

what is the old lady saying at the end about our generation?

[da9illest821]

Wqt the hell was that old lady talking about at the end?

[yoshinowa]

WTF happened.. I think it was an electrical fire.. and University Towers was built right next to an old house I think they were asking for a fire hazard.

[mysticmasters]

arson? - or maybe a homeless campfire? I know that place was 'occupied'...

[jodacatt]

Holy shit that sucks .... THANKS $ THE VIDEO STEPH !

[magicalpj]

I'm really sad to see that building destroyed, but at least it was vacant.

I hope Momo Tea didn't take too much damage from all of this. That place practically just opened.

[sugaryxegnirys]

It doesn't matter. Momo Tea sucks. :/

[magicalpj]

No way, that place is great.  Though, I guess you have to like bubble tea.

[sugaryxegnirys]

I do, and I was disappointed. I also find the prices to be kind of steep.
