Been for sale for a few years now.... wonder if they kept their insurance up to date? I'd bet they did..

"and nothing of value was lost" -- but kind of. I have fond childhood memories there. It's too bad -- this has the smell like insurance fraud.

I was thinking insurance fraud too, but saw that the place was sold not that long ago so the kook who previously ran it into the ground wouldn't be the one getting a payout.

This is a loss for the young kids in our community, but it's been a loss for over 10 years so hopefully something can rise out of the ashes quite literally here.
