Editorial Review

Preserved 1912 firehouse flaunts pressed tin ceiling, brick floor, fire pole and down-home eats for wary new condo residents and working stiffs. Hook and ladder chefs even render weekly list of Firehouse Specials. Disputed comfort found in cold meatloaf with Russian dressing, but pan-fired chicken and green chile chili get us hootin' and a hollerin' like that crazy guy with the aluminum foil hat outside. Don't skip the spicy garlic fries.
