This morning’s fire at Mt. Pleasant restaurant Corado’s largely spared the dining room but gutted the kitchen, leaving owner José Corado unsure as to when he’d be able to re-open his 20-year-old eatery. He said he’d have to wait for an investigation to be completed — the fire was likely electrical, and started in the kitchen — and his insurance company to weigh in before deciding how to proceed. Old School Hardware, located next door, also remained closed, victim of extensive smoke damage.
