John Henderson your probably tired about fires and the damage they do but, did you and DaBaber, hear about the fire that was in the same building as the q ball? It looks like they got lucky on that one, it sounds like it hit the same building twice last night. If that room would have been hit, it would have taken out a room that has been in that area for years!

Where is the Q Ball? That's not the place in Alhambra, is it?

That's my go-to practice room when I visit family in Pasadena - hope it wasn't damaged.

A fire "in the same building" must mean the smaller adjoining professional building to its left in the pic below.

no from the news real that I saw it was the building to the right of it. I am not sure what is there anymore it has been way to many years since I played there with the Barber and a host of other guys, you may have been there after I was last there back around the 90's

If it's the building on the right that's good - it isn't connected.

I was there this spring - the pic is a Google Maps street view from last December.

P.S. I saw a clip from the news about the fire - it is the taller building on the right, and it looks like it was fully engulfed, but it didn't look like the Cue Ball was involved.

There has been so much talk of the SoCal fires, it took me awhile to realize that the fire in question here was simply a building fire. I'd wondered how there could possibly be a forest fire in Alhambra!..:confused: However those are very nice Queen palm trees in PJ's picture..:) Glad that the Cue Ball wasn't burned!

Doc, I was going to ask if you were familiar with the area then I realized that you having been with MOI you were probably very familiar with the area!
