Uh oh. Fire at Universal Studios.
For those of you familiar with the back lot tour at Universal Studios, the following attractions and parts of the back lot were destroyed:
destroying a soundstage, the theme park’s King Kong attraction, a video vault and sets such as the Courthouse Square seen in “Back to the Future” and the New York streetscape from “Bruce Almighty.”
The smoke from all those burning plastic videos (forty to fifty thousand) is causing health concerns for neighbors in Toluca Lake.
Sigh. Fire season in LA sucks. Hope all the firefighters battling the blaze are safe. According to LA Observed (linked above) four were being treated for heat exhaustion or burns.
The new Simpsons ride was not affected.
Lotería Chicana
