Bricks had to be shoveled off the sidewalk for the front loader to clean off of Freedmore Street near Brighton Road on the North Side this morning after heavy wind blew a side wall of an abandoned building over covering the street.

Dolores Bell was sitting in her car on Freedmore Street, the side street that intersects with Brighton Road when the building toppled onto her four-door Mitsubishi sedan. “I thought it was the wires comming down, then when I realized what it was I yelled to my friend, ‘Get out. Get out.'”
