Penner's Place in Buzzards Bay

We ate there twice in the last several months while house hunting. It definitely slipped in both quality and service from what I remembered.

Wasn't the outside deck all pressure treated wood? Would a cig light that stuff up without a little help?

It won't be re-opening. Not until it's razed and re-built from the ground up. The whole place is gutted, end to end, and there's 30' of roof missing. Fire marshalls crawling all over the place.

My guess is that the CC Times will be using the words "of suspicious origin" by tomorrow. Someone remarked on another board that it's hard to imagine how a fire could get rolling like that on a well-traveled road without someone noticing and calling it in, unless it had a little help getting rolling. Especially when you consider that I could walk to the firehouse in about as much time as it would take for a first response. You're talking mere hundreds of yards down Main St.

Though a butt in an ashtray on the deck after hours blown against those dry wood shingles with the wind of late.... ok thats a stretch but you never know.

The place was getting very run down as of the last few years...so maybe skullduggery ignited the flames.

I stopped today at the old Bud`s to have a look and fire marshalls were all over the bar area.
