A three-alarm fire raged near the intersection of Mission and Valencia Streets last night from 8 p.m. until around 10 p.m. There's been a lot of concern that nearby businesses were irreparably damaged, though it sounds as if Blue Plate, Royal Cuckoo and Los Panchos were unscathed. Kathy Tang, owner of Lotus Garden is "fearful about what will be left of her restaurant." No one knows what started the fire. Enlightened comments are encouraged.
