Investigators say Greenwood fire is arson
Holy moly! If this is the same arsonist Greenwood has had trouble with he/she has really upped their game. Not good!
Ugggh.
That really sucks. Why target Green Bean? Well, I suppose why target anywhere. But Green Bean? Sucks.
Earlier this year a Greenwood home, two blocks away, was torched while people were inside, so this is serious stuff.
Wow, what next?
Hope they find, and fry, the perps. Terrible.
that's what happens when you let your kids go to 'burning man'
they come home with all sorts of ideas
Xacto – I think if the perpetrator had been to Burning Man he would have gotten it out of his system. ;-)
The Green Bean fire was called in at around 4am. If any of you have jobs that require you to be out and about at that hour, please keep your eyes peeled for suspicious characters and activities! Don't be afraid to call them in!!
what a jackass. i have to assume this is the same person that has been a scourge to the greenwood-phinney are for some years.
was the arsonist responsible for the construction site fires years ago ever caught? i don't recall.
I *think* this was a joke post, but one can never be sure. :)
It seems strange that someone would break into Green Bean, steal the money and set the place on fire for no reason. Sounds suspicious… I heard the owner wanted to tear down the building and develop the land.
