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.

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:
