Heaters Fired Up!


When I travel, I use several resources to find local places to eat and drink: Locals, Trip Advisor, and Yelp! The majority of reviews are pretty accurate, in my experience, and sometimes even a disgruntled review will send you somewhere because it can't really be that bad, can it? Much to my dismay, the latest reviews of Salty's Waterfront Grille, which had a promising name for this shrimp hunter, were breaking news. "Burned down at 3am this morning," one review announced earlier in January. Sadness. Didn't appear to be arson or a kitchen fire... Wonder if it had anything to do with the patio heaters. Seriously, people - buy a sweatshirt. Grandfathered past the current building code and immune from statutes requiring sprinklers and an alarm system, they're lucky that no one was injured.

Total loss.

Apparently some boats in the adjacent 7 Mile Marina were destroyed by proximity fires started by falling embers. The pelicans don't seem to mind this ghost town of piers.
