Trackside Tavern destroyed by fire

Popular Decatur bar gutted, say eyewitnesses.

Decatur Metro and its commenters report Decatur’s Trackside Tavern was destroyed by fire this morning. Fifth Earl Market, the restaurant adjacent to Trackside, was damaged as well.

UPDATE: Friend and fellow Decaturite Susan Watkins sent me a link to a Facebook photo album with two dozen grim photos of Trackside. If you’re a fan of Trackside, they will make you sad.
