Mount Pleasant burns down… again.


I just got back from Kingsway and Broad­way, the scene of the lat­est highly sus­pi­cious fire in Mount Pleas­ant.

For now, I’ve uploaded a Flickr set–tags to fol­low shortly.

With typ­i­cal Van­cou­ver cyn­i­cism, con­sen­sus among most of the bystanders (also, news media, city work­ers, fire­fight­ers, etc.) seemed to be that the soon-to-be-constructed condo tow­ers at Kingsway and Broad­way and Main and Broad­way would be very nice and prof­itable indeed.

Update: The Van­cou­ver Sun has also posted an exten­sive gallery of pre-dawn pho­tos.

Update #1: I made a Google Map illus­trat­ing what might be in store for Main Street when devel­op­ers get some of this land rezoned.

    Thanks for post­ing the pho­tos — we’re one of the ten­ants on the only build­ing left stand­ing on this cor­ner. It was funny — just a few days before the fire — I was think­ing we’re prob­a­bly next to burn over Christ­mas holidays…
