The Charles Village Pub fire

shotglassHere's Arthur Hirsch's story about the two-alarm fire that has taken out, at least for a while, the Charles Village Pub (the one in Towson).

And here's Baltimore Sun reporter Mary Carole McCauley's photo of  makeshift flowers-and- shotglass memorial to the long-running favorite. And here's her update to the story.

Were you one of the regulars?

Tell us about it.

The dearth of commentary seems to indicate that CVP's patrons aren't exactly your target audience. Supposedly, many of them read well enough to get into the nearby university, but........

Are you kidding me - why would anyone go to any of the establishments run by this person? It doesn't take much wit to recognize the hazards of a commercial kitchen fire - and the three staff went about their business! Finally someone decided to go upstairs and check.
Makes you wonder how adequately these folks were trained. You could have a James Beard award winner cooking there but I won't go!

I heard it was a grease fire that started it the cook's hair
