Welcome to Galesburg..what's left of it.

[Coffee Warlord]

Bigass fire in good old Galesburg, IL. Demolished a 4 story brick building. My mother took these pictures these morning, and all I gotta say is...wow.

What was that?

[Coffee Warlord]

Office building. Insurance company, if memory serves.

Oy, my browser just exploded.

[dervack]

Hope they bought a policy.

[WSUCougar]

They took my stapler.

[Raiders Army]

Wow. It looks as if that building was hit by one of the aliens' deathrays in the War of the Worlds remake.

[timmynausea]

Those are some good pictures. There's something fascinating about the bricks all over the street and the one corner of the building that is standing despite the wall on each side collapsing.

Is that where the car was flipped over, or is it closer to Coffee Warlord Elementary?

Galesburg. Famous because of one of my very favorite authors.

The hot dog place is down the street a bit on Cherry (which you will see the steet sign). It is safe. :)

[Poli]

What? No answers to MY questions?

[Coffee Warlord]

Did I say East Galesburg? :) No. I said GALESBURG!

[Poli]

I had another question, you know.

[Coffee Warlord]

Oh, missed that one.

And no, it's nowhere near either CW Elementary or the Car.

[Poli]

How about the Taco Bell?
