I’m sad to report that there was an early morning fire at U Wine and Beer in between 13th and 14th streets on U. Walking by this morning, there did appear to be some damage, but there were already workers on the scene fixing it. It did look like they lost a lot of their inventory. I did not have an opportunity to speak to the owner to see how long they will be closed, but here’s hoping it’s not too long.
