280, 281, 282: FIRE!

FIRE!

so this is sort of across the street from the Ceder Lodge (see last post). it was going to be a nice and fancy new hotel. we think the Cedar Lodge may have had something to do with this. all that is left is some cinder blocks from the elevator shaft. it was HUGE! i had the hose ready at our house, just in case, cause those embers were flying everywhere. but no one was hurt (seriously, i think one fireman went to the hospital, but mostly as a precaution). 

i really do think one of the ladies of ill repute who make up the clientele at the Cedar Lodge probably got nervous about her business dwindling with the "building up" of the area...you would think she would have been stoked at the influence of business men...
