Relax! A bit of soggy plasterboard is hardly cause for a government inquiry. 😉

They need a viagra store, apparently north siders have trouble keeping things up!

#4 lobster – no, Hot Dollar is still there. Top Bargain is new and downstairs. I suspect there is a connection between them though – staffed by Asians, very similar if not identical products on display out front with identical prices.

i blame zumba, or pink polos.

Top Dollars next advertising (do they even have advertising) should be SAVINGS THROUGH THE ROOF!

Has hot dollar moved? Things change so quickly in Belco these days!

Did anyone check whether the gym upstairs was running a Zumba class at the time?

Please tell me that this has not even the remotest connection with the Barton Hwy bridge collapse…
