Snow Collapses Restaurant Awning, Severing Gas Line
February 9th, 2013
LONGMEADOW, Mass. (WGGB) — All the snow took its toll on a popular Longmeadow restaurant.
The awning over Max Burger’s outside dining space collapsed early Saturday morning.
Longmeadow firefighters responded quickly to secure the scene because when the awning fell, it tore apart a natural gas line.
“The crews were able to get in there, secure the gas, vent the building before there were any explosions or anything but it was a pretty dangerous situation,” says Longmeadow Fire Chief Eric Madison
Luckily, due to the snow storm, no one was in the area and the building was empty at the time.
“All the snow took it’s toll” Om my goodness. I admit I am totally pedantic tonight, but COME ON. All the snow too it is toll? NO ONE caught that? Do you need a copy editor? Offer me a competitive wage, we can talk. I love the news, don’t get me wrong, you do awesome at that; it’s the presentation that makes you look like a two-bit operation.
Why is a natural gas line under an awning?
I’m supposed to go there on Friday for my B-day!!!
Neal maybe you should proofread your own stuff….
He’s not wrong. The quality of journalism from all 3 local stations is professional bloggers, at BEST. Read 3 articles in a row on any of their sites. You won’t be able to count the errors on less than 2 hands, and at the same time the quality of news and factual backing to most stories they post is non-existent.
If the proof reading and lack of journalism expertise bother you so much, why do you continue to read the articles? Almost certain to comment on ANY article you feel people will read. Get a life, and stop trying to make a name for yourself in the “comments” section of an online application. Smh
Damn!
You’d have a point, except I comment because I resent what “media” has been passively allowed to become over the course of 40 years. If my local media stations would stop “reporting” on the Kardashians and spewing anti-gun rhetoric, and started focusing on drones in our skies or billionaire bankers being given court sentences of two weeks pay dock for stealing from wall street, maybe I wouldn’t have to comment.
You tell those machine heads matt!! The ones who will wake uo one day and realize we live in a police state…first they start taking weapons now they trying to pass a bill allowing drones to be used on us civillians…remember that house in indianopolis that blew up and took the whole block down and they still dont know what did it!!?? DRONE
but what about this restaurant ?lol

Wow! I’m sorry you feel that way. At least you still have freedom of speech, or in this case to post comments. But in your pathetic world the clock is probably running out on that too, huh? I could think of 2 solutions to your state of paranoia. Move elsewhere, or put your head in noose of the rope that hangs in your basement, and let gravity take over. Your argument is pathetic.
I am not a news outlet. The standard is not the same. You better believe, if I am putting together something for my job, it is checked and correct.
I read them because I choose to be informed. And to be clear, I am not trying to make a “name” for myself, but to stand up for the tradition of journalism.
Wow. Grammar cops out in full force today! Take your whining elsewhere, no one cares.
I can see why proper spelling and grammar aren’t so important now.
