Earlier this week, we reported on a (not-so-surprising) fire at Korean Grill House, and just after midnight this morning, emergency crews were called to Honest Ed’s to put out a small blaze that had started in a display window. The fire didn’t spread to the rest of the store and was extinguished in about 10 minutes. Police are not sure whether anyone was in the store at the time, but no injuries were reported and a minimal amount of property was damaged. An investigation is underway to determine the cause—may we suggest looking into the red-hot prices?

Perhaps the fire was started by someone outraged by the recent bait and switch of Mirvish by replacing Topol in Fiddler on the Roof with the truly horrible car crash of a “performance” by the tone deaf Harvey Fierstein. If it was arson committed by someone traumatized by that awful Fierstein’s atrocity, then I would not prosecute them. It must have been arson in self-defence. What a Fiddle on the Roof.
