Gingerbread Man Downtown restaurant in Harrisburg PA suddenly closes

The Gingerbread Man Restaurant in Strawberry Square in Harrisburg closed early this morning. The closing falls just one week after Coakley’s Restaurant and Irish Pub closed in New Cumberland.

The latest closure is not being based on parking ticket complaints as others have been, but the point is how many establishments are suddenly closing up shop along the famed restaurant row in the Capitol city..

This is not a good sign of anything good to come..

PATRIOT NEWS: 'It's like we're being held hostage in our own city,' grandpa of latest Harrisburg homicide victim says

"We’ve got a war going on here in Harrisburg," said Theodore Rooks, grandfather of 18-year-old Hauson Keeron Baltimore-Greene Jr.

This is a tremendously sad story from the capitol of Pennsylvania.. So much undeeded violence in Harrisburg.

There’s a new mayor in town, too. With a big job.

Eric Papenfuse is being faced with crimes of arson and murder on the first Martin Luther King Day as mayor.. 

I hope to hell Harrisburg gets better. It’s a beautiful city with wonderful people—nothing like the violence it is seeing is deserved.

This is an extremely significant and dangerous weather situation developing for Thursday.. (Warnings like this are not common for the area where the purple shaded color on the map is) .. big thunderstorms with high winds are likely.. In the purple: Tornadoes are not only possible but likely—and there will be massive power outages if storms truly knock these areas.. 

The threat is Baltimore/DC/Philly.. a lesser threat but still potent exists back to Harrisburg PA and the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania..

Places like New York City, New Jersey, and other areas along the coast line could see wind gusts topping 50mph.. 37 million people are in the area where the most dangerous weather could occur Thursday..

Tomorrow is Tornado Thursday for someone, and maybe more than one city.

As I wrote here on Coal Speaker only yesterday *(about this upcoming threat as a matter of fact)*, we see now that tornadoes don’t care if you’re a populated area or a trailer park.

Pay attention to your favorite source of weather today and especially tomorrow. This could be a very bad day for millions of people, let’s hope it’s not.

Wow..
So this happened in Harrisburg today…

It was Cameron Street hell on earth …

.. We can cry until we try.. Or try until we cry.. It’s Monday tomorrow so you may want to fly.. But in the meantime ..Let’s face the week and dance.
