Overnight Fire Destroys Glatt Mart

A fast-moving fire destroyed Glatt Mart on Pico Boulevard late Monday night, laying waste to aisles of groceries and causing the roof of the building to collapse.

One firefighter injured his foot fighting the blaze, but no one was in the building when the fire broke out.

The Fire Department is still investigating the cause and has not yet assigned a dollar amount to the damage.

Saying Goodbye to an Angel in Sin City

It\’s Davidson, as in Ronald Davidson, my stepfather. He died yesterday at 62 and that\’s why I\’m at a funeral home out on Charleston Boulevard in Las Vegas. My mom is here, too, and though there are copious boxes of proper tissue in the place, she is clinging to the roll of toilet paper she\’s had by her side since returning from the hospital with nothing but a bag of Ron\’s stuff: slippers, a stack of Louis L\’Amour paperbacks, his watch.
