CA fires--GreenVille, CA

[DonTom]

Today, I took a ride to GreenVille, CA on my 1971 BMW motorcycle. GreenVille is not so green these days. I used to stop for lunch there on many of my motorcycle rides. I cannot find even a trace of the restaurant, and I know where it was located. They need to change the name to BurntVille, nothing green there any more. Only workers there, all fire related stuff. Nothing open but a NEW attorney's office named "Dixie Fire Attorneys."

Here are some photos I took today of GeenVille, CA (the restaurant was just behind the Main Street sign, on the RIGHT side, across the street. No trace left.

The one new building in GreenVille, built after the fire there was out, for the Dixie Fire Attorneys:

The fire happened in July, right?
I feel bad for the residents and business owners. It's difficult to fathom the loss of property and livelihood but the nightmare of bureaucratic and insurance wrangling is just as hard to imagine.

The fire happened in July, right?

July 13, 2021. And I think it i still going on in some areas. I heard it probably will not be completely out before winter arrives.

I took a motorcycle ride up there today (on my 2013 Triumph Throphy SE) to see the how much was done in a few years after the fire. It's a little more than a hundred miles from here in Reno.

The restaurant I used to eat at in Greenville is now the lot across the street, so it was not rebuilt and there are no restaurants in Greenville yet.

But they are making some progress on the other side of town. Two new gas stations, Still CA prices, but I only see 87-octane (and diesel at the pumps):

New school:

New fairly large grocery store (I never heard of Evergreen before):

They have plenty of eggs, but the cheapest ones were $8.99 a dozen

Some new houses are being built:
