Okay I don't mean to sound cruel or harsh or any thing like that I love this town to death but I strongly believe in karma and fate and all that jazz but I think that this happened for a reason. They were going to turn this into a BAR. A BAR is a place where people go to get DRUNK. DRUNK people do STUPID things like BEAT their Families. I'm not Saying I'm happy about this or "they had it coming" or anything but still. I don't think it's a coincidence.

I totally see your angle, the tragedy to me is that some of the buildings were to be used or currently were used as bars/casinos. It saddens me to see those historic gems fall though- after they saw all the parades and other events that we hold close to our hearts.

I was born in the early hours of March 23rd. If you calculate the minutes, and seconds of each day and add that in times 365 days of the year and if the fire fell with in the minutes, seconds and of the day combined with the minutes seconds, and of all the days of the year then you could have close to one in a billion odds. If you count only days of the year then its only 1 in 365 odds but the minutes and seconds of all the days of the year count as well in this situation.

@CoastStarlight11 ooo you almost got me.. but guess what.. last year wasnt a leap year.. so....

[CoastStarlight11]

@xXMOOST3RXx It could also be a 1 in a 366 chance if it fell on a leap year

[xXMOOST3RXx]

@CoastStarlight11 its a one in 365 chance?

Wow no. People drink all the time and don't beat their wives. People that beat their families beat their families.

[LakerHater3440]

Yeah... This really sucked. The debris looks alot better down there now.
