A massive blaze at The Caterie, a popular restaurant and nightclub in Baton Rouge, left it completely destroyed and other businesses heavily damaged. The businesses are all located in a shopping center. The fire started Friday morning and officials thought they had finally brought it under control late Friday night, but the fire flared up again early Saturday morning.

Robert Combs with the Baton Rouge Fire Department reported investigators believe the fire began somewhere in the second story above The Caterie. The fire spread to a couple of book warehouses that are also part of the building, including Claitor's Books. The fire gutted The Caterie and left Claitor's Books, Southdowns Discount Liquors and Cigarettes, and CVS Pharmacy with damage to their rooftops and ceilings from the fire. They also received water and smoke damage throughout. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Remember that time that dude shut the power off to the whole place after getting kicked out, then got chased by 30 people only to escape unscathed?
