Some people are already claiming conspiracy, Home Depot has been trying to buy that lot for a long time, they wouldn’t sell, and now suddenly a fire. Now I don’t know too much about this said conspiracy so I can’t vouch, however I”m a sucker for good conspiracy story, and this one sounds red hot to me. *pun intended*
Bullshit because it’s a “historical district” and legally couldn’t be renovated. Even with them burnt down, whatever replaces it has to “fit” the neighbourhood.
Besides, Home Depot is already building a place a few blocks away.
suspect video; pizza place; sample sale store; antiques store; etc…so ridiculous. if ANY part of queen west burns, it’s painful. :(
apparently no one was able to get insurance in the building, too (residents OR businesses), as it was too old. so now everyone who lived above those stores = screwed.
hmm. interesting to know, as someone else was suggesting that very same conspiracy today….and it’s always good to know that home depot isn’t able to plonk itself down as a result of unfortunate happenings.
Hey I never said I believed it. I don’t even know the details, I was simply repeating what someone else on my friends list who lives like a block from where it happened posted the morning of the fire. Me, I have no clue about the politics of it.

I work like 15 blocks away from that, and was coughing my head off from the smoke, between the subway and the office.

the treasures lost in that fire blow my mind.
I honestly don’t have words for how I feel when I look at that photo.
