I was there about a week ago. Great place. I was slightly disappointed that the inventory and display was not real old time but its a shame to loose such a landmark.

...but it's going to get worse.
The EPA supposedly wants to bill the owners for the equivalent tonnage of carbon emmissions that went into the atmosphere as a result of the fire, and the fire department now has to fill out a form and submit it to the city so the city can bill the owner of the building for water use and a water sewage tax for the 20000 gallons of water that the fire fighters poured into the building.
BS.
