"The four-alarm fire..." with a hyphen.

Nobody cares about the typos except the chronically nit-picky.

Is "Lodhi" a first name or last name or does this person have only a single word name?

Wow, that's pretty terrible. I'm glad this person was caught.

I remember this fire, and I believe I even have photos of it; I'll check at home.

It was pretty major. I had never guessed that it would have been insurance arson.

As it is, I lost clothes at the cleaners when it burned down. :( I never knew how to get ahold of them. I think I might have the claim ticket somewhere still.

is this the one that happened at the corner of castro and El camino real? It seems like that happened ages ago. Anyways, its criminal behavior. justice done. I can't believe how selfish people can be to do such acts. The lady not only destroyed buildings and businesses but also people's livelihood.

What a shame and if she did in fact set the fire she is in for a long and hard lesson.

Interesting. Also interesting is that the other story that just came out about the Hispanic duo that tried to rob Clyde's Liquors (that place seems to be a magnet for hold-ups) has the comments section locked down, so no one can comment. Draconian, anyone? So much for freedom of the press, and the public opinion. Oh well, most of you probably won't read this comment awayway, because I'll wager it'll get deleted soon after posting. We'll see...
