It is sad to see more businesses go up in smoke in PG
Seems like we’re losing our old downtown one or two buildings at a time. Sad.
Oh, No! Homeworks just moved into that building and had done a great deal of work to make it into a cool boutique spot and Nancy’Os just has to be resurrected – some of the best food and entertainment in town!
What a tragedy. I agree the old wooden buildings downtown are quickly disappearing to fires – the biggest risk to old structures.
