They had a big fire in the downtown this morning! I heard about it when I went to the Viet-Thai restaurant this afternoon. Some old buildings that were right back of the LCBO (for non-Canadians...that is the liquor store) caught fire and burnt down...but desperate countermeasures by the fire department managed to prevent the LCBO itself from burning down along with them.

Whew! For this town that would have been the end of the world. Specially on a Saturday, eh?

The LCBO did not burn, but it has lost its electrical power for the moment, so it's closed until that gets fixed. People are...like...in a state of shock, eh? Damn good thing there's another LCBO in this town over by the Zehr's Plaza.

Yup. The world as we know it almost flippin' ended.
