Drag: The Trestle caught on fire

In news that we're sure upset our friends at the nearby Compound Warehaus, the infamous J&J Trestle Inn, which closed for business in December but recently got some new proprietors (check out the liquor license application on the door), was the site of a fire this morning. According to Philly Fire News, firefighters were able to contain the blaze relatively quickly. We've reached out to the Trestle's new owners with a request for comment on how the fire may or may not affect their plans and will update if/when we hear anything. We're just glad that none of that mysterious bright green "Eagle Juice" they used to serve hit the flames, as that stuff could most definitely be classified as an accelerant. Thanks to trusty Meal Ticket tipster SH for the photo.
