I know it's not NEW news, but what the hell!?

WHY THE HELL did Binga's Wingas on commercial have to burn down!? One of my favorite Super-casual joints to go to!!! :BangHead:

AND, it's right across from the LOVING fire dept? C'monnnn...

it sounded like it started in the ceiling. which would mean that the place was probably junked before anyone even called 911

Friends lived in that building, or next too it. Totalled, but I think they were lucky and only got smoke damage..

Yep. Fire in the ceiling of a commercial buiding generally means sayonara.

Ahh, that's too bad... I didn't know the story or anything, just drove by the boarded up place...

Still pretty unfortunate, I loved that place! They have another location somewhere in portland I guess? I've never seemed to find it... I'm sure he had adequate insurance.

New location is up on Congress Street at the Deering intersection.

Isn't that the one that just burned?? I know there was a fire at the one on Park, right near the Post Office...

Damn, that WAS the one that burned down. Linky goes to news story. "Carelessly discarded cigarettes" are to blame, per the Portland FD.
