A gas explosion at a Washington Avenue apartment building forced all occupants to be evacuated. The building is no longer livable, and the tenants must find other places to live. The explosion pushed out the foundation and did heavy damage to a first-floor kitchen. Damage is estimated at over $500,000. No one was hurt.
