It seems like this happens with some frequency, but the power went out for the Rossmor, Produce Exchange, and even Printers Row for a few hours tonight.  Between Robert and Sibley Streets and 9th and 11th Streets, the power was out, even the stop lights were out (very scary, since people seem to think that if the lights out, they don't need to stop).  Sorry for the low quality pic, but by the time I got back home, got the kids tucked into bed, the power was restored.  I'm sure the restaurants at the Rossmor were pretty peeved as this went out at about 7pm.

Normally it takes a good storm or a heat wave to knock power out for that grid, but that wasn't the case tonight.  If you live in one of the effected buildings, I'd love to hear what Xcel had to say was the cause.
