A Bit Of Excitement

.
Downtown Fire 12-8-11 2

I have no new material. Nada. Nichts. Rien. Zippo. So it was something of a relief when there was a big fire yesterday in an abandoned factory on the south edge of downtown. I heard there were shots of it on the national TV news. We could see it well from our office windows. I got these two images with my point and shoot.

The damaged building has popped up on this blog a couple of times before. The picture at the bottom is a Arch photo from earlier this year.

    You sure that's not a bridge? If so, I think Albert Pujols is the arson.

    Seriously, I think the Cards ownership did the right thing by not doing a 10 year contract. The Cards will be better off in the "long run".

    Quite a fire. This is a lesson in the advantages of having a point-and-shoot at the ready.
