Fire In The 'Hood

Two days ago, 4:30 am, we woke to this:


5:30am

6:30am


The house was destroyed. I wanted to take after photos, but the house was demolished by the time I got home from work. Completely gone.

There is a story here with video and here.

It is a really sad story. These are the neighbors we like and want to stick around. We met the artist who lived on the top floor at a neighborhood ice cream social recently. He lived there 20 years, and now he is not our neighbor. It is a sad story.
