Fire damages landmark bookstore in S.D.
"A landmark bookstore and two other downtown San Diego businesses were heavily damaged in a fire yesterday that sent thick, brown smoke pouring onto Broadway in the middle of the day.
The fire apparently started in a back room on the first floor of 70-year-old Wahrenbrock's Book House, igniting hundreds of books, newspapers, maps and posters stacked floor to ceiling. It quickly spread smoke to Cleo's Hair Gallery and Superfly Custom Tattoo & Pro.
“There were 8-foot flames inside,” said Chris Halpin, 28, a chef at Hillcrest Sushi Itto who was shopping in Wahrenbrock's for a sushi book."
