The Tumbleweed Connection bar re-opened it's doors today after a terrible fire in mid-February.
Stop in and welcome them back!
I stopped in for a PBR with my son. Crappy phonecam pic available here.

Tumbleweed Connection final update
During the fire, smoke filled the building. Water is everywhere. The roof at the rear of the building is gone.I didn't learn if the front roof is damaged. Some smoke damage is visible above the balcony in the top and middle photos. A fire truck extension can be seen in the middle photo, behind the building.
The bottom photo was taken from a nearby roof behind the Tumbleweed and shows a couple of DFD vehicles including the extension.
In case you didn't know, the Tumbleweed had been serving really good breakfasts and lunches for some time. Our father, Walter, had been breakfast/lunch regular there for a long time.
Our friends and family celebrated my son, Ian's, 21st birthday at the Tumbleweed.
I don't get out much, but I've had a decent list of memorable times at the Weed with my friends and family.
We don't know the full extent of the damages or how things will go from here but, we all hope for the best and look forward to the possibility of many more good times at The Tumbleweed Connection in the future.
Tumbleweed Fire update
The smoke is beginning to die down and I managed to get this shot a few minutes ago. I hope all of this is confined to the upper floor. If so, it could allow the business to re-open quickly.
Fire at the Tumbleweed Connection
Friends of the Oregon District and, specifically, The Tumbleweed Connection (a.k.a. The 'Weed) should be aware of a fire currently in progress at that location. I'm with customers and can't get complete details.
Word from the street says the fire began in the office of the Tumbleweed. There is an awful lot of smoke and the smell has just gone from wood to rubber, which is not a good sign. I know many of the buildings here have rubber roofing.
As yet, there's no telling how this will turn out but, we wish the Weed our best and will be there to help out if we can. More details as they become available.
