Embassy Hotel in flames

Last night as I was driving downtown with my fiancée to take the dogs for a walk I noticed that distinctive trail of black smoke floating across the London skyline. So, as any good aspiring journalist, I followed my lead (pun completely intended). I ended up at Lyle and Dundas Streets where I was diverted by London Police. Although I was completely unprepared to write a story about the fire, I was pleased by my persistence to follow the smoke trail. My fiancée was not so impressed, however. That all changed when we were able to see flames shooting out of the roof and two large London Fire Department trucks spraying water on the charred building.

It is too bad we are not a little further into the term as this would make for a great story. When I was reading The London Free Press this morning, I learned that the building has recently been sold and is slated for a future condo development. The potential for some interesting twists is a distinct possibility!
