After being in business for decades, Loveless Shoes, on SW.29th, is now just a memory. The building that was connected to their building caught fire yesterday and destroyed that building and their shoe business .

When I was a child I had to wear corrective shoes, and my dad always took me to see Mr. Loveless, and he was always nice to us. My dad would not buy any shoes from anyone except from Mr. Loveless.

I was at the fire scene at around 4:15 PM yesterday, and it was still burning. It was a sad sight to see. Decades and decades of providing excellent service for their customers, and now Loveless shoes are out of business.

From what I understand, the fire started quickly and spread quickly, making it difficult for firefighters to extinguish. It was finally under control by 5 PM., however, there were still hot spots and still lots of smoldering. All that is left are charred remains.
