A student has set up a website to monitor the recovery efforts along the fire damaged section of Green Street.
Jordan Zucker, senior in engineering, created savezorbas.com that contains daily updates on the fire that destroyed the building complex housing Zorba’s, Mia Za’s and Pitaya.
Zucker lives across from the destroyed spot and decided to create the site after realizing he had a great view of the area.
“I thought it would be cool to show everyone what is going on and spread the word,” he said. “Everyone seems interested and it’s one of the biggest events that’s happened on the campus in a while.”
Zucker decided to use the title of “Save Zorba’s” due to it being the establishment he is currently missing the most.

“It’s really all about everything that happened, collecting information and keeping it available for everyone to access,” he said.
The site also features a live continuous video feed of the area. The camera is positioned from Zucker’s apartment and “allows people to see what is going on while it’s live and happening.”
Zucker said he plans on leaving the website up as long as people keep visiting and have a continued interest.
