One family who lost an entire building is getting close to completing a project they hope will add to the new face of downtown. On Main Street, what once was familiar scenery for Baehr is forever changed.
The reminders of the explosion are most notable in what’s missing, including an office building Baehr had owned for years prior to the day everything changed.
When Baehr went to the site of the explosion, he said that there were flames 12 feet high coming out on the sidewalk in front of his building.
He learned his office building, right next to the site of the explosion, was so damaged it needed to be demolished.
