I was there when this went down. Not much to see, 50 people anxious to get inside milling around the lobby, several people boxed up their cats so the smell of “cat dread” and the sounds of hissy fits.
The impressive aray of fire trucks encircling the building kept my 4-yo entertained, until hunger set in during the second thirty minutes of waiting for the “all clear” and we ate out back up the hill at Court House.
Off topic, but ever notice how some mornings if you look the “recent posts” tab on the right hand side of the Arlnow front page, someone is posting mysterious links and letter sequences in the comments section of articles which are over a year old? What is that? Computer robots? A spy code drop? Mental illness? Perhaps a really late commenter who speaks serbo-croatian?
