This area attracted quite a few idiots and psychopaths. Still does. Always did. Nothing changes.

It was a surreal situation, especially to see that building burn.<br /><br />For the record, the Po Folks restaurant had been closed for some time when this happened. It was an empty building, but still had the signage on the facade.<br /><br />I wonder if Pamela Berry and Cheria McElroy are still in the Jackson area. It would be interesting to know how they fared and what their memories of that terrible day are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
