The police are seeking witnesses “who might have seen vehicles parked in that general area around 1am Wednesday morning or anyone walking along the roadway.” Seven people escaped the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in Vassalboro as it burned, and no one was hurt. The community is deeply divided about the establishment, the AP reports. “I don’t think the business was doing any harm,” said one local. A waitress concurred. “We should keep on going, get back up and make it an even bigger place.” Not all agree: One man said 97% of locals oppose the shop. “I’m a Christian and I don’t want this trash in my backyard,” said another woman. “No good can come from it.” Read These Next Something James Carville said made Melania Trump's lawyer unhappy.
