Sad Start to the New Year

This was no way to start the New Year. The Inn on the Cove, a great local business, and a wonderful historic site, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.  I had been by the site just hours before after a walk in the Irving Nature Park.  The location and the surrounding area has always been a perfect site for outdoor activities, and the owners have been gracious and welcoming Westsiders.   Here's hoping the owners will rebuild and continue their excellent contribution to the West Side.
