You hear about the devastating fires, floods, earthquakes, etc. but I don't think you really know what they mean until it hits close to home. I believe I have a slightly better understanding now. Rob, who owned Rob's Sports Bar also lived in one of the apartments above the bar. In one short afternoon he lost his home and his business. I can't image what it was like for him to watch the building burn. The fire started around lunch time, the bar was open and Rob was the person who noticed the fire.

As Ed and I don't go out a lot so we've never been inside the bar, but we know people who are regulars. Rob's will be miss by many --- the regulars, the pool league that ran out of the bar, the people who lived in the apartments, the people who worked there and as a landmark. We hope Rob will rebuild and prosper.
