A friend of mine and to our blog mentioned that he saw a fire truck in front of Cedric last night. I know they were planning on filming an episode of Black Ink Crew (the new reality show on VH1) last night so we thought maybe this was all part of it. But unfortunately, it was in fact a fire. Their Christmas tree caught on fire and damaged a small section of the bar and ceiling area. Thankfully nobody was hurt not any of the staff or the upstairs neighbors.
They are working hard to get everything up and running again in a few days. We here at HarlemCondoLife hope to see business resume quickly for Cedric and the whole crew!
