Indeed, such unanimity will be invaluable over the next several months as building owners, insurers and city leaders formulate plans....http://blog.mlive.com/flintjournal/2008/04/lindens_loss_fire_erased_notew.htmlHistory also lost in Linden blazehttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/flintjournal/~3/264894137/history_also_lost_in_linden_bl.htmlReprintsKen Palmer | The Flint JournalSat, 05 Apr 2008 14:16:05 -0500tag:blog.mlive.com,2008:/flintjournal//876.857548 ]]>Story originally ran May 20, 2007 Peter McCollough | The Flint JournalSteve Drabik (right), a server at Broad Street Grille who lived above the neighboring Serendipity Day Spa, hugs restaurant bartender Jason Goff in downtown Linden on Saturday.
