Palisades Fire

The news coming out of Southern California is a grim one.

Many homes, businesses and landmarks have been destroyed by the three wildfires ravaging the region.

Moonshadows, a restaurant in the Pacific Palisades/Malibu area on Pacific Coast Highway has been destroyed. I used to dine there back in the 1980s.

So far, Gladstones 4 Fish in Pacific Palisades has been destroyed or damaged, according to a report in the Daily News. Another one report I saw said that it was "smoking". I dined there quite often before moving to New Mexico. Fox 11 News said it was not damaged. I hope so.

Villa de Leon, mis-reported as the Getty Villa in the media, had brush burned around it, but the structure itself has been spared. 

Here's a photo of it:


Thoughts and prayers for those affected.
