Marcal Paper fire: Seven-alarm blaze raging in Elmwood Park NJ

The upside - they were sold out due to the impending storm. Them and the local dairy.

Wow. That was a landmark on Route 80 forever.

Wow. I admire/admired them for staying local to the northeast and reward them by buying their products. Hopefully they'll rebuild.

So sad.

Fire has ended the life of many an iconic architectural landmark. Hopefully, the above company will return. Statistically: Doubtful.

Back in the mid-1970s, Garrison Furniture in Fort Smith went down in a blaze of glory, also. Unfortunately, never to return.
