There was a huge fire today at the Plaza in Kansas City. They think it was probably because of a gas explosion. When I lived in Kansas we went here about once a month. The area is really nice and it's a upscale outside mall area with some great restaurants. The area is kinda like Easton for a comparison. Hopedully everyone wil be ok.

Did my ex-gf get caught up in this?

I think fire is an understatment. It was an explosion that blew the roof off of a restaurant!

When I was a kid I worked at a restaurant. One night we could smell gas by the grill so I went to get the manager. He grabbed a lighter and held it out and started lighting it as he walked around the kitchen. I got the HELL out of there. It didn't blow up but that was stupid. Lol
