Per the Appeal, a two-alarm fire is blazing near the corner of Columbus and Kearny. Early reports have the fire originating in sushi joint Matcha (raw fish=fire hazard?) and spreading to neighboring residences and restaurants, including the infamous House of Nanking. More info/fallout as it comes in. Update 12:30: The Chron says that week-old Matcha is "seriously damaged" as well as a neighboring liquor store and cocktail bar (Grassland?). [SFA]
