By the end of the week, the broken window was fixed and the fire damage cleaned up. Romney Copeman, a lifelong NDGer, organized an eat-in of sorts to show the restaurant owners and workers that they are welcome in NDG. The event was organized via Facebook and interest grew quickly.
This was the tightest deadline on a story that I have had since since my early days as a beat reporter in St. Johnsbury, Vermont working for the Caledonian Record back in 2003/2004. The event started at 5:30 pm and I was expected to have the story in by 9:30 pm at the very latest. I borrowed my father-in-law's laptop so I could write it in the nearby Shaika Cafe while sipping herbal tea.
