About 12-15 blocks from my house. I hope none of the fire fighters from the station a block away were not injured. They were the nicest guys and always happy to let my kids check out the equipment. The restaurant that blew up was a favorite of ours and Seattle's. Two really nice brothers own the place and just have the best service possible. They will be fine, they have other locations, but wow what an odd thing. http://www.mrgyroseattle.com/ We were there a few nights ago for some lamb..

One would want to think so, but they just remodeled the place and their business is always good.

Doesn't mean that profit margins were solid.

Gas leak traced to coffee shop next door apparently it is still burning. I'd think it was more likely the coffee shop.. I would be really surprised if it was the brothers gyro shop. They own three locations and a mobile truck.

Damn. A good gyro can be a hard thing to find.
Damn, I have a full punch card for there. Great gyros and awesome dudes. Hope they are able to rebuild.
In reply to Brian:
Not today, there's some over there, some more over there, oh look here's some, I see some up there.
Damn - that is right next to Insurrection, a great shop for motorcycle leathers and accessories. Hope everyone is ok. Good thing it happened so early or a lot more people could have been hurt.

U village or Ballard have locations. Next time you are in the area, give me a yell. I live close.

King 5 is reporting windows blown out for blocks, but not much beyond that.
In reply to Fueled by Caffeine:
Will do! Haven't been in awhile, but did a couple jobs close enough they knew our names.... Now I just go when i need a gyro.
