The Grand View at the Grand View Coffee Shop Comes to an End!
The Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in Vassalboro, Maine has burned down. After inspection, fire officials have determined the cause was arson.The shop employed three men and ten women. Before the fire, The Grand View was doing a brisk
business. The workers, who are now unemployed, are said to be "in shock."The controversial business opened earlier this year in February on a former motel site. Sole Proprietor Donald
Crabtree said crowds were "mobbing in" ever since. According to Crabtree, the place was made, "to
put a smile on your face." CNN interviewed waitress Krista Macentyre after the fire. Macentyre described the shop
as a "good, innocent business." She added "We really liked it here" and
"we weren't hurting anyone."Unfortunately, the fire completely consumed the building and the Coffee Shop is a total loss. Owner Crabtree
was hit especially hard. He had no insurance and lived onsite in adjacent living quarters along with his two daughters, their boyfriends and infant children. Now the
entire family has been forced to move to a nearby motel.“It really put the lives of seven people in danger,” Fire Marshal John
Dean said. “This is a very serious fire. We had seven people sleeping
at the time of fire, and somebody set the fire.”
The arson investigation is ongoing and evidence has been sent to the State Police Lab for analysis.I certainly hope law enforcement catches the arsonist quickly and the local DA throws the book at him or her. I have a strong suspicion this fire was set by an untolerant person trying to impose their moral values on others at any cost.
