Sad And Terrible News!

[Jeromerules]

It is about 1:30 am right now early friday morning. An avenue in Edmonton Called WHYTE AVenue or 82 Avenue, which is one of the oldest most historic parts of edmonton, has had a devestating fire. The fire is still burning but it is under control. THe Blaze started at about 10 PM And I really don't know how it started. So far 6 businesses have been totalled and 2 more have suffered smoke and water damage. One of the businesses includes a store called Scales and Tails a small pet shop. The sell as you can see domestic animals and reptiles. It's sad because on the news it said all the animals in the pet store have perished. It brought a couple tears to my eye and motivated me to come and write this thread. Poor puppies and cats and snakes and stuff. Really sad. Also really sad to see businesses go down like that espescially in such a popular avenue in edmonton. I go to that ave adleast 3-4 times/Week. It will definitely change that street. One of the buildings that burnt was 101 or 100some years old. Part of history just gone. I guess I am just dedicating this thread to all the animals that have perished in the fire. Even as wierd as it sounds. SAD SAD DAy in edmonton.
