Fire at the Pier...

 

We were saddened to see on the local news this morning that there is a fire ongoing at Pier 19.  Pre-pandemic, this was a regular on our "breakfast rotation."  The restaurant/bar was built on an existing pier, and each table had a window view.  On more than one occasion, I posted photos of that view, often getting to see dolphins swimming nearby.

From the looks of the images, it is fully engulfed...

 
 
There were also docks there, with bay and gulf fishing charter boats.  And, a guest dock where you could tie off your boat and have a meal there (we had taken Wild Blue there a few times).  Last time we were there, we commented on how there was "a list" to the building - you could feel it sloping to one side.  Likely due to the age of the pier it was built on.
 
Another local business gone.
