Fire can be frightening

[jana_denardo]

This hit close to home. Fire on OU’s campus I was supposed to be at Jackie O's last night which is one of the buildings that burned (granted not that late, I was supposed to be just down the street at the Union Street diner for the night of writing dangerously that I missed).

I am very sad for those hurt in the fire, the businesses lost and all the displaced students. I'm just glad it wasn't worse than it was because it so could have been.

For anyone that read Triskelion this summer (my love's landscape story) this is where I had it set with a couple scenes in Jackie O's. Sigh.

I don't know what happens next of course but it's a blow to the community. I just hope those hurt weren't seriously hurt.

I am very sorry to hear about the fire - I hope everyone will be ok and able to find a place to stay :(

Me too. Thanks

Hopefully, it'll come back and be better/larger than before?

Thank you

Don't know but I'd like to think so

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed.

Betting it takes a good long while. Jackie O's has another place down by the Sonic's but I thought it was limited in times open (I think it's where they actually brew)

Yeah, sadly, one of the local bars that was set on fire (arson, and someone was convicted), never quite recovered - and it's very cool facade - it had onion domes on it! - was never replaced.

aw that's too bad. Jackie O's and that block weren't spectacular looking to be honest

Still, here's hoping they come back.

yeah
