@scottalanmiller Most folks around here don't use good words like that, so I don't tend to hear (har, har) them that often.

I'm surprised. I hear that one in casual conversation.

e.g. That kid is throwing water balloons at people indiscriminately.

Also, the browser has it in the spell checker so it is fairly common by their standards.

That really sucks. Does anyone from the Geneseo area know how extensive the damage was and what other restaurant was caught in the fire?

The building that Kelly's is in, is a total loss they need to demolish it. The restaurant has only been open for a couple months and I didn't even know it was there. Now I have to go check it out when she reopens. Also A Touch of Grace (a gift and unique international wares store) had lots of smoke a water damage. Geneseo Sun on the other side had some smoke and water damage as well.

That really sucks. That is going to significantly change Main Street. There are so few businesses there. Losing a building or two in the middle of it all will really alter things. At least if they had insurance this means that a modern building can go in there instead of the 100+ year old one that has been there on the verge of falling down for a long time.

Are you kidding it couldn't fall down with out a major disaster. It was glued together with beer, and various bodily fluids! That section of main street will smell better now

More than 3,000 miles across Canada, many kilometers across several European nations and only 300 miles in the US before the robot was destroyed.
