Solomons Vet, a thrift store, an ATM, and a bike shop is all I can remember.

I was wondering if that was the strip PAC was in.

 

[Grumpy]

Believe its the little strip mall between Boomerangs and where Jethro's(and other asian restaurants after Jethros) used to me

Yes it is.

 

[Bann]

That was just horrible.

 

[PeoplesElbow]

Yes it is.

I was planning on driving my bike off for some maintainence, sounds like that might be delayed.

I am not sure how far down the line the fire went but I would imagine most of the shops were damaged. I am just glad no pets were harmed. I think I might know one of the owners based on the last name of the animal posted on the vet's Twitter about being relocated. They take higher risk pets to a 24 hours clinic or else more pets could have been in harm's way.

Yeah..I bet its going to be a mess next door to your shop for some time.

Yeah, just a bit.

The Solomons Veterinary Medical Center and Patuxent Adventure Center (Bike/Kayak Shop) were completely destroyed by the fire.

My first store was between the vet and bike shop. The building was very old and I was the only tenant without a back door. I believe at one time my space was a hardware store. There was all kinds of crap behind there inc straw and an old boat and lots of junk. Before I moved in, there was a homeless guy living there and I understand he died in a booth at Jethro's. I was always worried about fire. I am sorry this happened especially to the thrift store. (hope they had insurance)

There was a boat load of customers bikes in there for maintenance too.

We got a dresser from the thrift store a few months ago and had to go around back to pick it up so it could be put into our truck. I do remember all the crap that was back there. My neighbor works at the thrift store.

Yes, It was the old location of Sneade's before they moved to Lusby. I don't remember how far down Sneade's went in that building, but it was at least the vet and maybe as far to include PAC and your shop in between. I dunno if PAC expanded or the vet did when you moved out, I don't remember anything else in between recently. Down at the other end, was a pretty recently opened tanning salon & boutique.
