Fire in Adams Morgan
Firefighters were called to Adams Morgan nightspots Chloe and Saki yesterday afternoon after what General Manager Danny Coyle termed "a small electrical fire" started in the building's office. (Chloe is located directly above Saki, and the two are both owned by Alireza "Haji" Hajaligholi.)
Multiple ladder trucks were on the scene when I went past yesterday afternoon, and Chloe's second-story windows were knocked out. Damage appeared to be extensive, and the air smelled of burnt plastic and wood hours later. Nevertheless, Coyle said he is hopeful the clubs will reopen this weekend.

Heh! Sounds like old Haji was careless with his matches. Fire insurance? First of the year? This all spells "arson" to moi.

I can't believe the firefighters saved that place! Chloe is a terrible club...overpriced and full of muscle-bound, idiot bouncers. They should let it burn next time.
