Molly's No More
Faulty wiring is blamed for igniting a two-alarm fire early Sunday that engulfed a nearly century-old tavern in northwest Portland.
The fire started in the basement Molly Maguire's Tavern, a bar and restaurant on NW 21st Avenue shortly after 3 a.m., officials said. The fire quickly engulfed the building, causing $350,000 damage to the structure -- which may make it difficult to salvage.-KGW
At least two of my friends are out of work because of the fire, making it the second fire in less than a year that has affected people I know. I'm more than a little bummed. Molly's was a NW institution, I didn't hang there that much, but when I did it was always a good time. Another piece of Portland history lost.
