Last night, a fire -- whose causes are still under investigation -- set off a two-alarm blaze at San Rafael Elementary School in Oceanside, Calif. The school has been closed since 2006 because of declining enrollment and fears that the campus would not survive an earthquake.
It's interesting that a school that's been closed for two years is still standing, vacant rather than being turned into something else or sold. I'm sure Oceanside could sell the land to private ownership (unless that's not what they want to do), and I realize it's expensive to bring a school up to standards or turn the campus into some other city-owned venue, but having an abandoned school just seems creepy.
