The Post has some reading on what's gone on since last year's fire.
Good morning. Here's what you need to know for Monday, Nov. 16, 2015:
A lot changed in Athens one year ago today, on the morning of the Union Street fire.
Businesses were destroyed, Ohio University students were displaced and some folks found themselves suddenly out of jobs.
I remember speaking briefly with a professor at the corner of Court and Union Streets mid-way through the morning. We agreed on one word that captured our emotions following what transpired — it was shitty.
The Post has a good deal of content online and in print today that circles back to the events of Nov. 16, 2014.
Give it a read. Reflect back with us on that morning and the outpouring of support in the days, weeks and months since.
