Four-Alarm Fire

I'm so jaded by our neighborhood that I didn't even get off the couch when I heard loads of sirens seemingly just outside my window. As it turns out, they were putting out the fire at the building next to ours...8 firetrucks, 2 ambulances, several cop cars. One would think that would at least get me to the window, but no.

Got there eventually, via taking something to the kitchen. It was the building I always watch, and slightly curse, as there is always a ruckus going on in the general area: heard a fight the other night but couldn't see it, kids playing dice in the street who don't even move for the cop cars policing the neighborhood, dozens of kids milling about late, late at night.

Needless to say, I'm curious how it started.

This Just In

Does anyone else find anything odd about the following CNN Update (info bar at the bottom of the screen)?
