Next door used to be a lighting store - imagine the mess a 'boom' would make in a store full of glass!<BR/><BR/>I was just thinking how incredibly lucky we are to live in a country where events like this are not commonplace. So many countries I have visited would think this was not worth even a newspaper article.

Propter Doc, I'd long suspected that you are in Vancouver too and now I guess it's official! <BR/><BR/>There is a new Starbucks 2 blocks away, opposite where the Cambie / Broadway skytrain station is being built. There's also a coffee shop in my building that is absolutely jam packed at the moment.Cath@VWXYNot?https://www.blogger.com/profile/01164268321173313605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149574905485287914.post-53196643764619685822008-02-13T10:31:00.000-08:002008-02-13T10:31:00.000-08:00Yeah, we don't know where that glass came from as ...Yeah, we don't know where that glass came from as our glass canopy looks to be intact.

Lots of glass and twisted metal on the street - even some on the side street near your work entry! Very lucky that nobody was hurt. Oddly, it was about 20 years ago when another local business blew up a block a way - Dynamite Pizza (yes, ironic name) was taken out when the pizza oven was cleaned with gasoline. <BR/><BR/>Mermaid<BR/><BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149574905485287914.post-47416227753028885342008-02-13T07:47:00.000-08:002008-02-13T07:47:00.000-08:00Like when the water boil order in late 2006 ment t...Like when the water boil order in late 2006 ment that no where in Vancouver could serve coffee.
