Baltimore gay club, Grand Central, damage by fire

“It’s just a headache…. Had it been in the middle of the night after we closed, that would have been really bad.”

Steve Ledlow, General Manager for Grand Central, one of Baltimore’s most popular gay nightclubs. Reportedly, the building had just recently had it’s roof repaired by storm damage. One firefighter was burned in his face and the extreme summer heat only made their efforts more difficult. The bar area of Grand Central is to remain open. (Baltimore Sun)
