Apparently the huge fire that started this morning in Greenpoint is still raging on. Luckily noone seems to have been hurt in a set of buildings that apparently only contained “lumps of rope and tied up bales of clothing”. The owner, who was proposing converting the disused warehouses to a park and shopping center, must be very happy – except that he had suggested using a lot of the existing infra-structure for the new construction.
Arson investigations are, as usual, underway as the fire blazes.
