me goes to waterloo

me BURRRRNS

[ninjabone99]

oo that sucks..

[r0ckpaperj3sus]

Good riddance to Mel's restaurant.

Personally, I don't think they should get anything back from insurance, since they didn't have a fire-protection system installed. No sprinkler system, nothing. :P

[neeeeeeeedles]

@r0ckpaperj3sus insurance doesn't really work that way...underwriters go in and determine the risk and whether or not they want to insure it. if there was sprinkler system installed and they turned it off without telling the insurance company then yes they shouldn't get insurance money

[guyincognito84]

too many women on that campus showing cleavage and skin....that's why.

[peanutboy3]

@guyincognito84 is that sarcasm or something because waterloo is like 70% guys...

[guyincognito84]

@peanutboy3 damn....in that case it's double sarcasm!

[NebPWN]

@guyincognito84 r u kidding me?

waterloo has a disproportional ratio of guy vs girl

[kittycatapple]

nooooo all the steroids are burning

[32KOAST]

the guy was claiming that he wasnt making any profit for the past 3 years *which is bullshit because mels was always busy* so he lit the place up before he was audited . hopefully karma fucks him good for burning the other businesses down.

[SaadInc]

k someone explain who is MEL?? lmao

[khafanov]

@SaadInc its a 24/7 breakfast place at the plaza.. which i think was the source of the fire

[t2fang]

i overheard about this yesterday while studying at DP for my last exam. i didnt know it was such a legit fire. come to think of it, kw is really a hellhole anyway. glad i'm graduating.

[thebellrang]

I will miss Mel's Diner. It has helped me out of some potentially rough hangovers.

[starblinky]

I hope everyone got out okay!!

[vtnsx]

[Myobokuuzan]

@Tanis1kanan I know :( those poor trees probably did a lot to clean the air after good thing the other buildings in the plaza weren't all destroyed, just some :) I guess they never thought of putting in fire proof walls :S

[QWbigbrother]

[angeluser181]

This sucks so much. It's like part of our campus burned down. :( Went by today, the damage is unbelievable. I hope they figure out what started it, I thought it might've been Mel's, but Tabu is damaged significantly more.

Hopefully the people who lost their jobs/businesses are going to be able to recover.

[HowRandomzLifeIZ]

my bus attempted to drive by a little after seven thirty. i saw fire trucks and still a bit of smoke... and i drove by on my way home around four. the damage is mind blowing.

[ic3ywolf3n]

[andyobe2]

I was gona have steak and eggs at Mel's Diner at 6:30am, walked over and road was closed off with lots of police cars and firetruck... so sad, no more Jerry Lee and my God Father wall of fame photo is gone... forever... T_T

[pepperandeggs]

Ugh, I worked at Sugar Mountain. No more job for me >:I

[UkrainianCat]

[BranscomeM]

where will all the donkeys go?

[aragorn01234]

This is campus court, not university plaza (opposite side of Phillip). Just for those that might be confused.

[carebearcutie4u]

To all you who have written comments about food being over cooked or drinking, or not being able to wear an outfit anymore grow up, do you know how many people have lost jobs because of this fire and familys whose businesses are no longer around.

[timrupp]

Mels!

[beckeyh]

@timrupp there is still another Mels down on Highland ;) dont worry!

[carlswanson82]

hahaha just looking at that earlier comment "the godfather" may have had something to do with this! hahahahahaha

[carlswanson82]

another nightclub burns to the ground. What a coincidence. Hmm they only opened in January?  Oh? They paid all their employees in cash? Oh shady as hell?? hmmm Insurance scam?

[inocent91]

its no longer Fubar Night Club ps... Fubar was closed and a new club opened in the same location not to long ago by the name of Tabu, 140 West club also recieved major damage in the blaze

[Diem420]
