Schatzi's is Smokin

Last night at 11:42 I received a phone call from the Iowa county Sheriff's office advising me that Schatzi's was on fire. I poured myself into some clothes like I was a fireman summoned to a fire.

I arrived on the scene, to find 5 firetrucks and 3 squad cars surrounding the scene. Schatzi's neighbors had spilled out onto the street and they were watching the firemen and firewomen do their work.

Smoke was coming from the roof and shortly after I arrived, it was announced that the fire was extinguished. The fire was confined to the rear storage room, but the entire building has extensive smoke damage.

Its too early to predict when we can reopen our doors.

Already I'm missing my Schatzi....and the community will sorely miss the their Schatzi.
