First, let me say that this not an April Fool's joke.
Fire broke out in the Legado apartment project in the heart of Prescott Valley about 1:30 this morning and burned it to the ground.
Here is the aftermath.
What's left is the concrete parking garage and (presumably) elevator towers.
I had reported on this project and told my readers who thought it was ugly that the plan called for the concrete parking garage to be hidden by apartments built around it.
Much of the wooden framing work had been done but all of that wood burned like kindling when the fire started.
No one was injured and the cause of the fire is as yet undetermined.
There will be an ugly scar in the center of my town for some time.
