Lancer Steakhouse was destroyed by fire

I just learned via a “pingback” from the blog, Cleveland SGS, that the Lancer Steakhouse was destroyed by fire. See our May 1, 2009 featured audio about the Lancer. The images below show the fire (from Cleveland SGS) and the Lancer’s interior, circa 1970, from Cleveland Memory. It is a tragic loss for the City and the neighborhood. I hope that they’re able to reopen.
