i just happened to be walking down Highland from Elm Park right when the fire department got there and before the cops could block the street off, so i got front row seats. for about an hour i watched it burn, it was pretty awesome.
it was that house/building next to the Wine Vine that had Miller Cotton's tattoo shop in it. the first 2 floors were vacant, but apparently someone was living in the 3rd floor apartment. i guess the fire started on the second floor. sounds like an insurance scam.
