I was stunned to step out of my apartment and witness the icicle-laden results of last night's three-alarm fire in Inwood upon which over one-hundred-and-thirty of New York's Bravest converged and battled for four hours in the brutal cold before the fire was under control. Water was still being sprayed on hot spots as of late morning. Thank you, as always, to our brave men and women of the New York City Fire Department.

Bread and Yoga, Furry Friends (whose two store cats, Smokey and Dino were, thankfully, rescued from the fire and are safe and sound in a new home), Splash Laundromat, Bank of America, Dichter's Pharmacy, Burhan Hardware (recently opened), City Bank, a dentist's office, a lawyer's office, and the old China Buffet were tragically destroyed in the blaze, the origin of which is still undetermined.

I am uncertain of the viability of the remaining neighboring stores and apartment buildings, and send my love and prayers to all involved in the hopes there will be a literal rising from the ashes for everyone affected by this tragedy.

The Inwood community is pulling together and if you're part of that community (or not), feel free to join the Inwood Community Group on Facebook to keep up-to-date on the various efforts being undertaken to help those in need as a result of this fire.

Susie and Allison are all about the things that make you go Mmmmmmm...

Sharing is caring...write to us.

We do it in 140 characters or less. We also do that thing with our face.

Susie lives in Los Angeles. She likes to relax and have fun...always has, always will. When she was a little girl and her mother asked her what it was she loved to do, that thing she would do even if no one paid her, she replied, "Laugh with my friends, lay in bed, listen to music, read and eat really good food". She still loves to do all those things and still does not get paid to do them.... but she's an eternal optimist and she's not dead yet. It could happen.

Allison lives in a treehouse in New York City. She likes forensics, flea markets, costumes, lip gloss, writing, antiques, eating while reading in bed, clouds viewed from above, photography, the flavors of rose and cardamom, texting, doors, laughing til her face hurts, tea, truth tellers, wedding shows, farm markets, fireplaces, snacks, jury duty, olives, cowboy boots, pin-up girls, animals, vintage dresses, an economy of words and hanging out in her underwear.
