Queen Street Fire

This week there was a six-alarm fire on Toronto's Queen Street West. It destroyed several local businesses as well as left several people homeless. I had a chance to witness the demolition of the ruins this weekend and it was a very sorrowful site. Many people were standing and watching in silence. My friend noted that 'it felt like a funeral.' Here are some before and after pictures from a local blog called Torontoist.
