Wall of the Abandoned House Next Door Collapsed
Was 20 minutes into a movie when I heard what sounded like a bomb going off behind me. Looked out the window to see the wall of the abandoned house next door had finally collapsed after bowing out for years. My landlord's been reporting that place to the city since before we moved in. The city did fuck all and now I'm in a motel because the fire department's worried the roof might slide down and hit us. Landlord put me and the cats up and he even volunteered to pick up some supplies for them that I couldn't bring with me.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the final straw for the wall was almost certainly the owner finally hiring people to clear out the overgrowth on the property (probably ordered to by the city). Whoever they hired clearly didn't know or care about the danger that comes with ripping vines out of brickwork. Those vines were probably the only thing holding that wall up.
