By Chuck Sudo in News on Dec 3, 2010 3:20PM

A major fire broke out near Lincoln and Wellington about an hour ago. The fire started at the Peerless Imported Carpet building at 3033 N. Lincoln and that the fire had spread. There are reports (unsubstantiated) that the second building that caught fire houses Lincoln Tap Room.
