Well-known Gainesville pizza restaurant, Satchel's Pizza, reopened Friday after a fire destroyed it's salvage shop. The store opened at 11 a.m. and sold salvageable souvenirs and accepted donations for charred T-shirts and bandannas that had survived the fire.

Off The Griddle is one of the food trucks in Gainesville that provide alternative dining options. Michael Musoke, owner of Off The Griddle, said the trucks cost between $20,000 to $100,000, which is less than it would to open and maintain a restaurant.

When he's not working as a bartender at Satchel's Pizza, Jordan Bortstelmann forges his own tools using a hammer and anvil in his workshop, Crooked Path Forge. He spent years honing his skills as a blacksmith and wants to share his smithing knowledge with the community.

After moving to its new location next to Satchel's Pizza, The Repurpose Project has more than quadrupled in size and substance. The owners plan to expand with the additional space, adding a garden, play area for kids and an event area.

Although no one was injured in a kitchen fire at Satchel’s Pizza last night, there was significant structural damage done.  Florida’s 89.1 WUFT-FM’s Michael Cadigan says the owner is already reaching out to insurance agencies and employees to get the restaurant back up and running.
