First off, no one was hurt.... here's the story.

After talking to Larry Gonczy for a while, I picked out some tackle and walked towards the register.  All of a sudden we all hear a big bang and the store shakes like you can't imagine.  We run out front and it appears that an older Gentlemen has ran up the curb and smashed into the nicely and newly renovated concrete pillars supporting the roof.  We check up on him and hes ok, chest hurts a little, but he was walking around in no time.  I parked my beater Geo Metro out in front of the store and he clipped the rear driver side of my car (probably saving the store and lives) and ran into the pillar.  This was a older 88ish Ford Econoline van also, lots of force behind that.  Apparently someone was in the doorway when the wreck happened, thank god they weren't hurt.  I would of been walking outside the store within a minute or two after checking out so I'm lucky also.  
Shame for the store and employees, hopefully everything is back to normal quickly.  
Feel free to add anything Larry    
Auburn PD and Fire was on the scene pretty quickly too, thanks to them.  My car must of been the glancing blow, because he hit that pillar HARD.  Thats my story for the day.

Wow!

I think they ought to have "50% off everything" day to clear a little inventory so the construction workers have more room to move around while fixing the joint back to original shape.

HOLY COW BATMAN!

 That is exactly where I was at all day Friday & Saturday.  In fact when my back would start aching, I was leaning up against the pillar!   I had commented to one of the employees about the heavy traffic and how they had a ringside seat on traffic accidents at a busy intersection.
