I haven't covered the Gallery Furniture fire situation since it was the top story for most Houston media for days. Those outside of Houston might think a furniture store's warehouse fire wouldn't be major news, but Gallery Furniture is actually a Houston icon. It is kind of hard to explain. Then again most furniture store owners don't appear on MTV and own some of Princess Diana's jewels.
Well out of all the coverage, I just found out today that the store's owner Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale (I always thought it was Mac for some reason this whole time) is on Twitter:
