Fire at 17th Ave. + 14th St. SW

[rmk]

Just a friendly heads up that the bike shop on the corner is on fire and the fire dept has been on scene for a few hrs. The whole area is fucked.

[clockworkboy3]

[Proboscis]

[SJW]

* Westside Mountain Shop, Phyne Fashions inc.,(both had
significant damage),
* a small pub called 17 Avenue Lounge (little visible damage)
* McDonalds restaurant (no damage)(citizens evacuated and
restaurant closed for the evening

1410 is not attached to McDonalds. it goes 1410, McDonalds entrance, McDonalds, attached to 17th Ave Lounge (small hole in the wall), attached to Phyne Fashions, attached to Westside Mountain Shop, which is then the NE corner of 17th Ave and 14th St.

Going west on 17th ave, it is the last 4 businesses on your right hand side approaching the corner of 14th St.

Squeegee corner.

at 6:30 am this morning, just the investigators and one CPS cruiser securing the scene.

Drove by and was sad to see the building was torn down. It couldn't withstand a fire but sure survived a street car. :eek:

Wow, its neat to see old pictures of Calgary. Massive fire though. You hope that never happens to anyone..

[icecreamvan]

How old are those photos?

[eur0]

Sad to hear, take a look at the glenbow museum archives website. There are some great photos in there, even some shots of Chinook and Southcentre when it was first built. Also Stephens Ave. back in 1920 or so, interesting stuff.

weird I just got back from Toronto and witnessed a huge city block, in a very historic part of downtown, burn to the ground.


then I look out my window the other night and the sky is on fire.

Thousands of historical photos, the caption stated the streetcar photos are from 1920.

[Pacman]
