If you were wondering what some folks in Montgomery, Alabama, were doing this past Sunday, just know that they were attending a vigil for a Taco Bell that burned down.
That’s right, folks, over 100 people recently showed up to a vigil put together by Katie James after a Taco Bell in the area was left in ashes after a mysterious early morning blaze destroyed the fast food joint.
@tacobell It is with extreme sadness that we inform you of the loss of our community Taco Bell due to a fire..
I have been asked by all interested and partaking if you would donate tacos to the candle light vigil and join in our grief as we mourn our Taco Bell loss#NEVERFORGET pic.twitter.com/dXdNLwpCeY

Folks showed up with paper cups turned in candleholders, and some people even showed up dressed as angels.

Here’s what James had to say about this Taco Bell vigil:
“It just gave people something to talk about other than all the negativity that’s going on right now.”
And here’s more from that night:
