    Dramatic shots. You've made this little town in N.D. (that I'd never heard of) a part of my life.

    A real loss for small town USA. I have stopped at T=bones when I was there. I used to set pins in the bowling alley.

    Great pictures & coverage, Heather. I am still in shock & awe that this has happened. So incredibly sad for Fessenden. T-bones will definitely be missed!

    Hi Heather. Misty emailed me the photos of the fire. I cannot believe it! I feel bad for the owners and the employees. Strangely enough, I was just thinking of T-Bones yesterday....
