Smoldering Ruins Replace Key Midnight Pass Restaurant
A $50,000 blaze gutted the Midnight Pass restaurant and its dock after 1 a.m. fire crews battled flames for hours. Owner Wood said the business was only partly insured. Investigators considered a beer keg explosion or heat fracture as possible causes. The Woods operated the eating place for eight years, previously running a fishing camp on the same site. Plans moved toward reopening the bar with reinforced work to lay a new patio slab and maintain the bayshore rotisserie.
