Do any of these restaurants ever have mysterious fires? We've had a few around here. The first one I can remember was downtown La Crosse, one of my friend's father owned a business in a old building, and there was a Greek restaurant in another part of the building. The building was a total loss. The fire inspector found a wrench next to the main gas line, and eventually a employee confessed the owner of the place paid him to start the fire. Same thing a few years later with a Italian restaurant in Onalaska, which is the city just north of La Crosse. Then a bar burned outside La Crosse. It was ruled faulty wiring in a cooler, but the owner couldn't keep his mouth shut and blabbed about it to someone who reported him. Then the Mexican restaurant in downtown that had a fire, and the insurance allowed the owner to build a big new place in a more popular area. There's been a couple others, but just recently another restaurant burned down a couple old buildings in downtown La Crosse. The initial thought was that the fire started in the kitchen, but now the inspector says that wasn't the case, and the final report will be a few weeks. It just seems to happen a lot here.
