A fire today in a men's rooming house on the 900 block of North Third Street next to the Subway Restaurant displaced all who were living there. There have been reports that this was an arson event. I saw a half-burned mattress on the sidewalk while taking this picture. If you click to enlarge the photo you will see a workman on the third floor sealing the windows . . . Comments on PennLive.com now suggest that the “closing” announcement for Garrason's Tavern might have been a publicity stunt aimed at generating some free publicity. If so, I think it was a crazy idea since blogs like mine and people on FaceBook have already announced the venue's demise. Not really the kind of publicity a going concern would want, in my opinion . . . We received a nice shipment of statuary this afternoon and I will be photographing it to share with you over the next several days . . .
