BRIDGEPORT — Michelle Kelly doesn't even have a pair of shoes.
Not after fire ripped through the building that houses her apartment — and the Soluri & Sons Italian Deli — at 3549 S. Halsted St. Sunday night.
"I've lost everything," Kelly said. "I'm going to be 65 years old in March, and I have nothing."
Kelly was sitting in her living room Sunday night at when she saw — and smelled — something unusual.
"I saw smoke on the ceiling," Kelly said. On Monday morning, she took account of her things, most of them charred, blackened or totally destroyed.
Around 8:30 p.m., a fire started in the basement, authorities said. The Chicago Fire Department was able to put out the blaze, witnesses said. There were no injuries reported.
