There's a check cashing place next door, but you can't have too many of those, right?

Saw that. Wonder if NOFD put that up themselves. You know with their big fight with the city and everything.

Building that burned on Canal St is owned by t-shirt king Kishore "Mike" Motwani, per assessor records.

I think some swank subsidized housing would really be a boon to the area

Odyssey Music was in 1012 Canal for years. Owner retired 3 years ago. That building likely getting lots of water damage. #canalstreetfire

New Orleans firefighters expect to be working at least 24 hours to extinguish the Canal Street fire, and state and federal fire investigators anticipate it could take weeks to determine the cause of Wednesday's six-alarm blaze.

was thinking the same thing... but I think this season they're at a house in the FQ (29 maybe?)... which may have been 1 of the middle alarm responders

ETA: though maybe they were w/ EMS doing stand-by... that's a good possibility

Mike Motwani, who would have thought, an Indian perfects the use of Jewish lightning.

Motwani is probably extremely happy about all this. I'll leave it at that.
