Front Street Fire: A look back

This event was the genesis of my recent contest post of the artists work to recreate what we lost. While it is not a pleasant event to look back to what happened 6 months ago to this beautiful and historic little seaport, it is good to know that as a community - we are moving "out of the ashes"

Kudos to Asher Robinson for lifting our spirits

1. Thanks for the back story.

2. Indeed, that does explain what appeared a case of mass vandalism

Now I see they were heartfelt volunteers selflessly pitching in to restore their town. It's inspiring to see such a display of community pride.

I live near Garrettsville Ohio where a fire razed nearly an entire city block a week or so ago. The town is historical and much of downtown was stll constructed of old dried timber.

Thanx for posting.

3. Oh my no

I just looked up the news stories of the fire in Garrettsville. I know there really are no words. What you have is what you have always had - the people that made this home. I promise to check from time to time to see how you all come out the other side.

4. I don't live there.

It's about 20 minutes from here, but my gf and I would go there on occasion to eat at The Olde Mill Resturant. It's a really quaint little town that lost a lot of history that night.

Thanx for the concern though.
