One of the two buildings which together are Bryce Hospital, the 19th century insane asylum for the Southeastern region of North America, burned down on the morning of February 8, 2009.

I suspect foul play

Well, the University's trying to buy the land so that they can put more buildings on it to house future students. The destruction of a structure on the property lowers the property value. It's a convenient time for the University for that building to burn down, because it makes the cost of the property lower and means that the University will have to spend less money to acquire it.

I was on the fence, between Foul Play and Stupid Vading Teenagers, but now I'm convOH MY GOD GREG PATTERSON'S ON THE LIVEJOURNAL.

But wasn't the land the U trying to buy over by current Bryce? And the part that burned down over in Northport? Or am I just totally wrong? The paper hasn't picked up on it at all. So I'm a little lost and WAY too lazy to drive over to the airport. I'll check out the airport site tomorrow on my way to the Police Academy.
