<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know the owners of the houses affected
by this crash? WJZ has a good video on its website. The story ends
with a comment about the houses possibly being condemned - hopefully that does
not automatically mean they will be demolished. That would really have a
negative effect on the 2800 block</FONT></DIV>
