Lobster and history lost in Boston fire

James Hook & Company, a landmark on Boston's waterfront since 1925 was destoyed in a fire on Friday. 60,000 lbs of lobster and a part of waterfront history were destoyed totally with damage estimated at $5,000,000. No people were hurt. The Hook family has resisted many offers to sell its valuable financial district real estate in the past and is planning to rebuild at the same location. Let's hope they do and rebuild it with the same crusty vibe. "We will set up a trailer, we will set up a tent. I don't know what we are going to do, but we will find a way," said Edward Hook II. "Once this mess is cleaned up, we will find a way."  Here are some links to the story: Boston Globe Associated Press James Hook & Company website Set as favorite Bookmark Email This Hits: 206 Trackback(0) TrackBack URI for this entry Comments (0) Subscribe to this comment's feed Write comment Name Email Comment smaller | bigger I have read and agree to the Terms of Usage.
