Rough Draft Bar & Books in Kingston, N.Y., is a victim of the recent frigid weather due to burst pipes in the building where it is located. The bookstore posted on Instagram a photo the city's notice prohibiting occupancy or use of the premises, saying:
"When the vacant building above you apparently has no heat on, and temperatures are dipping below zero, pipes may burst. Who could have predicted that?
"Well it happened today, and now our space needs a lot of work done. We're still gathering information from the Fire Dept., Building Inspector, Central Hudson, etc., but for the time being, we're closed.
"When we know more, you'll know more. Shout-out to our team for handling the emergency with grace, and to the KFD, who were there right away and helping with the cleanup."
