A great tragedy as fire engulfs the Polo

It’s just been confirmed as suspicious. A safe and cash register were stolen.

Whoever did this is an absolute low-life. I hope they catch them soon.

Any further updates on the condition of the building?

Sadly, another old building in a desirable location catches fire.

Hopefully it can be saved….

You kind of scored an own goal with that comment. It’s an old building in a desirable location, not a desirable building in an old location.

… you mean by putting a chain wire fence around it and leaving it to rot for the next decade?

This building had terrible internal design. Like the person was drinking vodka. Not good potato vodka, I mean the gut rot stuff.

But the kitchen had the best pierogi!

I read this headline and thought my car had exploded.

Echoes of the former Finnish Club of Jamison. I hope the Italian Club sprinklers are in good working order.

I’m hearing the fire was confined to the kitchen. Which would explain the smell of burnt pork knuckle over O’connor this morning.

Maybe it was the German Club.

Its Poland. It could well have been the Mongol, Turkish/Ottoman, British, Russian, Swedish, Lithuanian, Prussian, Cossack Slovak or Soviet clubs. And probably a few others.

My reading of the CT story on the dispute was that it didn’t involve the Polo at all, they just posed for the photos there.

Yeah, I think you’re right, and bit dodgy of the CT to do that. I know when I was last interviewed (not by CT), schedule meant had to do it somewhere totally unrelated to the story or me so they made sure to put the background out of focus and not have anything too identifiable that may imply otherwise.
