Waukeegan IL mall explosion
Kinda scary
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/28/plaza.explosion.ap/index.html WAUKEGAN, Illinois (AP) -- A large explosion has blown the top off a shopping plaza in Waukegan, Illinois. Police say at least six people have been taken to a hospital. An explosion was reported at a shopping plaza in Waukegan, Illinois, on Thursday. The explosion struck around lunchtime Thursday. It blew the windows out of storefronts and collapsed the ceilings above stores. Witness Candi Rixie was taking orders at a sandwich shop a block away. She said she felt a rumble, almost like somebody hit the building with a car. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the blast, but crews from People's Gas were on the scene to investigate. Any body in Waukegan?

I live a few (10, 15?) minutes from Waukegan. Friend's dad's body shop is there. My favorite taco joint is there...
I'll be home on the 7th...maybe I can get some pics then.

Yep, sounds like a gas line - my suspicion would be a gas line running under the deck to an RTU somewhere, but we'll see.

Taqueria El Paraiso or simply "El Paraiso." Address and phone number:
14 N Mcaree Rd, Waukegan, IL 60085-4542 Tel: (847) 244-3138 You can get just about anything there, super authentic. Like, order in Spanish, authentic. Tripe tacos, cow brain tacos, cow head tacos, you name it. MMMMMM gooooddddd. Only problem is they don't serve beer. But, they are 24hrs. It's in a rather....seedy...part of town. Great place to eat though. Where in/around Chicago are you? Quote:
