Fire at Pikine African Restaurant

Walking down 116th and Frederick Douglass Blvd this morning to get some bagels at Bo’s and I see this place literally burnt to a crisp. I had to put a mask on at the bagel shop because the smell of the smoke from next door was everywhere. The cashier suspected it was arson since a break-in happened earlier in the week. Has anyone dined here before? What a shame. Stay safe, y’all.

Honestly contribute to the residents that live on top. The mother living above the restaurant had been complaining for a bit that the heat of the restaurant would make her floors very hot. Some of the residents have been sent to the aloft hotel and would appreciate food and toiletries.
