RE: The Groton Inn...

The latest news is that the inn was a total loss and will be demolished.

This morning when we drove by the traffic was backed up on Rte. 119 in both directions making traveling very slow for those who had to be anywhere.

There were people standing all over the place looking and taking photos.

News trucks and crews. And of course firetrucks and firefighters still about.

People slowed down as they drove by to take a photo from their cars.

I parked behind the library and walked up to Main Street and over.

Here are some of my photos.

This panoramic tells the story as well as any:
