Apparently, the face of Whyte Ave has been changed again. Shit. According to the radio report on this, Uncle Albert's Pancake House on the corner of 104th burned right to the ground.
I was at the Princess when the fire started (around 10) - who knows how long it had been burning before anyone noticed. We saw some police run by and looked out the door and there was smoke billowing out of the roof and the front of the restaurant. I think it was probably already too late for the poor animals upstairs. Not long after, a fire truck and ambulance arrived.
Last I heard, 10 businesses lost and 4 or 5 damaged.
New York Bagel is gone, Isis Metaphysical, that clothing store, the piercing parlour, Albert's, Scales & Tails, and I don't remember which others. :(
Yes, Carol's Sweets is gone. Was there a store upstairs from it?
Southside Sound and Stoli's were damaged in the fire, but I don't think they're gone. Their building is brick and probably helped keep the fire from spreading the rest of the way down the block.
I hear it was a nice pet store, where they let the kitties wander around and be friendly. Crap.
