Always was an apartment building.

You could be standing at Grace and Shafer (used to be a VCU parking lot) and feel the heat. Traffic was fucked, Broad was blocked, and had to jump off the bus at Belv. and walk west. If I remember, cars were cooked in the parking deck across the street, it set off a few other fires in Carver.

They were. I had a friend that was parked on the side of the West Broad Deck closest to the fire and her car was totaled.
