ZOMG DID THE TERRORISTS ATTACK SOMERVILLE?

there are a million fire trucks zooming on Broadway and now I'm hearing helicopters.

What's up?

There's a big fire on Broadway in East Somerville.

The news reported a 6 alarm fire starting at the Dollar Store at 82 B'way after 7pm tonight that has also engulfed a Mexican restaurant next door and they're still trying to fight the fire and stop if from spreading to a near by house and other stores.

wow, it's right across from mudflat's future studio building (broadway theatre)

Uh oh, that's right near Vinny's At Night (one of the best Italian
restaurants in Somerville, even if it *is* in the back of a convenience store...).

from this morning's Globe: 3 Somerville stores gutted in fire. Super Dollar Plus (where the fire started), Tapatia Mexican Grille (which was open when the fire started), and Somerville Communications (a cellphone store). A neighboring apartment building and a house were also damaged.

That puts the fire at 82 Broadway.

Vinny's at Night is across a small side street at 76 Broadway, and hopefully was not damaged.

we drove down to see it this morning after seeing the smoke pouring into the sky for HOURS last night.

Well, that might explain the heavy smoke we encountered at Sullivan Station around 7:30 last night.

it's weird that I could spend all evening yesterday at a party on Richdale Avenue (down the hill from City Hall) and yet not know about this event until I returned home and read LiveJournal.
