Coffee Shop Known For Topless Staff Destroyed By Fire
http://www.wmtw.com/cnn-news/19641896/detail.html

A three-alarm fire on Wednesday morning destroyed Vassalboro's Grand View Coffee Shop, a business well known for its waiters and waitresses who work topless.


The Vassalboro Fire Department told News 8 the fire started around 1 a.m.
The coffee shop's owner, Donald Crabtree, said the building is paid for but that he doesn't have insurance.
The shop gained national attention in February when it opened for business.


what a maroon!

4. I'm sure it's just a marketing stunt
My guess is he's trying to horn in on some of that FarmAid charity action.

5. I dunno. Personally I think looking at staff destroyed by fire

Would be more than a little creepy. Especially if they were topless. Doesn't any one teach journalists decent grammar any more?

Of course if the roof had been destroyed, they could advertise themselves as a really topless bar.

6. That's hot.
Seriously, this is a tragedy for the staff - if they couldn't even afford shirts when they had jobs, what are they going to do now?

7. My first thought? That "Christians" burned it down.
I give it a 90% chance that the evidence will show that to be the case.
