1. Not adjacent to government buildings,

a few blocks away from many.

2. They just said on CNN that it is the scaffolding

around the hotel that is set on fire so maybe the hotel building will be saved.

3. I've been in that alley many times.

We did gigs in the Hay Adams. The alley makes a right turn at the wall of the Chamber of Commerce building. The flames appeared to be going up the masonry wall of the Chamber of Commerce. The last time I was there dumpsters were at that spot including one for cooking grease and oil.

There are no government buildings in the immediate vicinity. There is an installation on top of the C of C that has sensors and cameras. I've seen objects that may be weapons there too. I feel certain that is a government installation.

5. I came across this photo of the alley

From news report there was a scaffolding on the wall where the dumpsters are.
