Forest Arms Apartments Fire

During the early hours of February 6th, the Forest Arms Apartments caught fire, leaving many homeless and unfortunately taking the life of one individual. Forest Arms was the residency for many Wayne State University students along with the Amsterdam Cafe and People's Records.

Relief funds have already been set up for the residents of Forest Arms. For us in the music community, People's Records was one of the main stores that all us music loves, music producers, and all around vinyl junkies shopped at so we need to band together and help out. People's Records owner Brad Hales will be holding a benefit for his store during his monthly Original Funk Night on Friday February 29th, now held at The Woodbridge Gallery on 1761 W. Forest (at Rosa Parks). Right now, People's Records is continuing business as usual at 5835 Third St. Email peoplesrecordsdetroit@gmail.com. Look for an addition People's Records benefit party mid-March brought to you courtesy of House Shoes and Rensoul.com. Stay tuned for details.
