A couple of weeks ago I noted that the now vacant French restaurant Le Virage was painted over in Walnut Creek, and over the weekend a fire mysteriously ignited inside which was put out by the Contra Costa Fire Department.
The post about the Le Virage murals getting painted over contained this photo:
Notice how the plywood is not covering the entire window. This would allow someone to easily start a fire inside. For example, a curious child, or an arsonist. Has anyone seen the movie Goodfellas?
The question is, why was the plywood not fully covered? An inadvertent mistake, or?
