One last look tonight at 14th Street and Avenue A

A little after 9, I was surprised to see the sidewalks had already reopened at 14th Street and Avenue A after the three-alarm fire that started after 10:15 this morning ... If you didn't know any better, then you might just think that these stores here were simply closed for the night... (never mind the lingering smell of smoke...) A few workers from ConEd and Verizon remained on the scene...




Many thanks again to EV Grieve reader Sergey for all his photos today... and thanks to everyone who left comments and shared their thoughts...

I just walked by for the first time and thought exactly the same thing - if you don't peer through the gate and notice the lack of a roof, you would just think they were closed. Looks like the tax place also had damage.

I wonder when the last time they were closed - not in my memory.
