| The mischief night fire was report at 2021 hours with arrival of the first companies at 2023 hours, two minuets after the 9-1-1 call reporting an explosion and smoke from the rear of the building. This local attraction had renovated the bow string truss structure less then two years ago for use as an aquarium. The building housed over 100 reptiles, snakes and fish including alligators over four feet in length. | |

This cartoon appeared in the November 2, 1999 issue of the New York Times. We are happy to report that the alligator that jumped is doing fine. How does that old expression go, "LEAPING LIZARDS" !!
