| Transcription | "A three-alarm fire early Sunday morning destroyed three downtown businesses and damaged several others. The fire, which originated in Tropics nightclub, spread to Quizno's Classic Subs and One on One Fitness Center. Tropics owner John Michael Mauer was in the building when the fire started but was not injured. He was arrested early Monday morning, but no formal charges had been filed as of publication of this issue." - Caption with photograph in The Spectrum, May 2, 2000, pg. 1 |
