Houston residents: The Great Caruso burned down this weekend

[Penguin]

Houston's only dinner theater restaurant burned down to the ground Sunday morning. It happened around 6 am.


I work across the street from the restaurant. I was working a midnight shift and I got off work at 5:45.


As I was going home, a black sedan blasted past me. The stupid idiot even lost control, spun out on Richmond, turned around and kept going.


Officials said that they suspect arson. It kills me that I didn't get the license plate or a better description of the car. I'm convinced that it was probably the arsonist. Who else goes 90 mph on Richmond at 6 in the morning?


I am seriously bummed. I should really keep a pen and pad of paper nearby when I'm driving.

Oh, that's OK, Penguin. Nobody blames you for not writing down his license plate number. You're being too hard on yourself.

Besides, who has a pencil and paper next to them when driving?

I got your back on this one Penguin. I worked there for a few months in HS. I was shocked to hear this myself, particularly the arson part. Must be an insurance thing I guess.

(BTW - I take Richmond to the Beltway most days and I can attest that there are people that drive 90 at 6 at night, let alone 6 in the morning on Richmond. This is Houston afterall.)

Actually, I heard that the fire was quite a show. My co-workers had a great view of the fire and it was spectacular.

Me, after getting shot down repeatedly at Cooter's!:texan:
