Notme - the Armani on West Broadway and Spring is different than the Armani Exchange on Broadway across from Prada. Not that I would shop at either, I just walk around a lot.

That fire looks PhotoShopped! I think I see the devil's face!

More specifically an anti-Italian fashion designer pyromaniac that targets the intersection of Broadway and Prince. Aren't the burned Prada store and Armani store directly across the street from each other?

Hmmm First the Prada store last year and now the Armani store. Can there be a Luxury store pyromaniac?

I can't believe that the fire was on Spring and West Broadway. From my north-facing 20th-floor apartment on Murray Street, the smoke seemed to be coming from just behind 40 Worth Street. The black plume of smoke wafted over Lower Manhattan and off to Brooklyn for more than 30 minutes. We could hear lots of firetrucks, and at one point we could even see the red-hot flames above the roof of 40 Worth. Did anyone else think it was much further downtown?
