Chinatown Fire

As most of you have heard, there was a major fire in a Chinatown resturaunt yesterday. The fire started before dawn and carried on for most of the day, causing the closure of Center St. Nearly 150 citizens were displaced due to poor air quality in the area and were not allowed back home until today. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the blaze. When I first heard about the fire on the news, I hoped that my favorite Chinese resturaunts, Ho Won and U & Me, were not reduced to ashes. The building that went down was actually directly beside U & Me; close call, because where would I go for my drunken after hour dim sum binge? After my evening class last night, I went down to Chinatown to check out the scene.
