Fire at Szechuan Bay (by Teele Square)

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Earlier this evening, a fire broke out at Szechuan Bay restaurant on Broadway between Teele and Rt 16. It appears to have spread south-ish into Wicked Coffee and the salon. The establishments on the other side (Guru, the Indian grocery, etc) did not appear to be affected, but they are all closed right now while the fire department is dealing with the situation.

I expect SB will be closed for some time, possibly the coffee shop as well. Hopefully if the building is okay, the grocery and Guru will be open again very soon.

It doesn't look like anyone was hurt, thank goodness.


(I'm still out of hing, though.)



[ETA: Sunday update: The entire block appears to be closed today.]

Off-topic comments might actually lead to people forming closer relationships based on something other than the designated purpose of the community, and we can't have that now, can we? I mean, it's like the other day I was in the Square listening to some guy playing music, and before I knew it, this total stranger complimented me on my t-shirt and asked where I got it, and things got totally out of control! Among other things, it turns out we share the same burning passion for esoteric West Coast fashion! Which has nothing at all to do with Davis Square or even the guy playing music! I feel so ashamed; I'd better just cancel our upcoming coffee date.
