I stumbled upon your website while doing a Mattress Company search. I find it interesting and heartbreaking that you wrote “I didn’t even know about it” I don’t often go around promoting my site, but in this case, you should read: http://www.sarabella.net/blog/archives/001879.html#001879 Now you will know about it.

You will find much info on my blog, including the YoMattCo website link and also updates to what I am doing as well as the archive of the benefit we held. And if you want to go inside of the building through the lens of a camera you can see my show opening from last June at http://www.sarabella.net/photos/YMCAC . If you have any questions, I’d be happy to try to answer them.

worldmegan, may I post your fire photos in a gallery on youngstownfire.com? Bluryness aside, I think many visitors to my site would love to see them.

Thanks

Peace,
Greg

Fire Ruled Accidental
From the Youngstown Vindicator on 6/4/2005.

YOUNGSTOWN — The fire that destroyed a 105-year-old downtown building nearly two weeks ago has been ruled accidental, fire department officials said.

Capt. Tim McGarry of the Youngstown Fire Department said the cause of the fire at the Youngstown Mattress Company Arts Center has still not been determined. No damage amounts are available because insurance companies are still investigating, he said.

The fire broke out around 6:30 p.m. May 22 at the center at 460 Martin Luther King Blvd. Many area artists used the building to display and create their work.

The department also responded to several structure fires on Friday night. Details were not available.
