Oh for eff's sake: Heidelberg cover story and fire

TIMING IS EVERYTHING >>>

Yesterday morning I visited the famed site of the Heidelberg-Columbia Brewery in downtown Tacoma, snapping photos as demolition crews methodically deconstructed a piece of our collective history. The photos were for a cover story by Joshua Swainston that hit streets today, detailing the Heidelberg's history and its historical relationship with this city. It's a pretty interesting piece - one worth checking out.

However, for the record, I'd like to point out that the Weekly Volcano had NOTHING TO DO with the fire that mysteriously errupted at the Heidelberg overnight. I promise. It's just strange timing.

And timing is everything, as they say ...
