so this morning i was driving to my classes and i noticed smoke comming from the downtown area. as a got closer i was detored around the center of town (the victorian district) and i cuaght a glimps of what was going on. one the the historic buildings in town was fully in flames. from what i hear i drove passed it shortly after the fire trucks got there (about 30 mins from when the call went out). there where even more ariving as a drove around it. driving to school i could see the smoke for miles away. anyways this building was built in 1868 and it was a taven/hotel. it kinda suck to think about a builing thats been there for so long suddenly gone. just like 8 months ago another historic building burned down. but i guess there is a time for everything.

here is a link to some pics i found
