Holy crap! The Snook and I were both awakened late last night by a tremendous boom that rattled our bedroom window. “What the hell was that?” I mumbled as we went back to sleep. My addled brain chalked it up to a car backfiring or the people upstairs dropping something large. Turns out it was a huge-ass gas explosion at Nando’s about two blocks away!

scary, the place is totalled! we lived about a block from there – i would of crapped my pants
It’s like that block is cursed. First Barney’s burns down, then Nando’s blows up! Next year I fully expect Cafe Ottimo to be hit by a meteor.
Ummm does anyone remember The Phoenician Club that used to be on that corner.
Maybe it’s just the legacy of some of the former bands/artists that played their – AC/DC, Nirvana, Jeff Buckley.
All bought undone by the Anna Wood Incident
The curse continues?

Ha. Like three people have sent me that story in the past fifteen minutes! I am Ye Olde Chronicler of the Curse of Ultimo.
