Breaking News: Downtown Fire

firebanner.jpg

Another fire has broken out in Downtown.

Firefighters are on the roof of a building at 6th and San Jacinto, maybe the building next to SoHo. Coincidentally, it is directly across from the KOOP building that has burned twice in the past two months. Crowds were on the street watching the men in yellow do their business. No word on what caused the fire. If you have morei nfo. let us know in the comments section.

Oops. Didn't scroll down enough. Let's try this again.

It's Chuggin Monkey.

Maybe this is what that weird Gorillaz song "Fire Coming Out Of A Monkey Head" is about.

good! Burn to the ground crappy bar. Purge yourself 6th street. 1 down, about 20 more crappy places to go.

Ah, bummer. I heard it was the Ritz. Maybe next time.

Anyone hoping for the burning of any local business should just move out of Austin. Would you rather have another Hard Rock move in then have the Ritz to go to?

While I'm not a big fan of 6th street - I don't want anything to burn down, I have plenty of other options to go out to. You do too - maybe people will hope your house or business burns down. Maybe it will happen - karma's a bitch.
