Blackbird Cafe, along with Patina, Heidi's and Shoppe Local were destroyed today in a fire. Read more about it here.
I actually work just a few blocks away from this location, and watched as firetruck after firetruck sped down the street. After I went out to investigate, I saw huge smoke clouds billowing in the distance. News helicopters flew overheard for most of the late afternoon. So far it sounds like there were no casualties or major injuries, but the loss of the local businesses is devastating. I hope everyone has insurance and comes back strong, especially Blackbird, which, as I mentioned in my review, is one of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities.
