Fire this morning at ‘Birmingham’s largest and most popular Shisha Lounge’ the Moon Lounge
Cross posting from http://digbeth.org
There was a fire this morning at 'Birmingham's largest and most popular Shisha Lounge' the Moon Lounge - the old Carpenter's Arms building on Adelaide Street. 
The policeman I spoke to this morning says the fire has engulfed the whole building. He was unsure whether or not anyone had been hurt in the fire. 
There are road closure around the area because of the fire - this morning Adelaide Street, Lombard Street, Lower Darwin Street and sections of Macdonald Street, Charles Henry Street and Alcester Street have been closed, so be aware if you're driving through Highgate today.
Stanhope Hall Highgate have community lunch tommorow at 12pm
Stanhope Hall, Ketley Croft, Highgate have community lunch tomorrow at 12 noon it would be good to see you. Monica
