Wow. what a day. I could see the smoke all the way from the dundas/college bridge on my way in to the shop. I've done a lot of business at Duke's over the years... can't afford to shop there now, but when I could they could always get the best stuff. I don't know about the conspiracy ideas, Jet's right that Gary (or the family at least) owns the block, and burning down your bike shop one month before the rush season is a bit of a strange plan. Keep an eye out for some slightly charred deals at the spring bike show though! You've gotta figure that somewhere in a corner of a basement there were some pretty sweet brand new 100yr old parts laying around.

Keith- WTF. Didn't the boss fire the other guy when Mindy quit?

Also, full moon and lunar eclipse tonight! *howls*
