My girlfriend was managing the Bell store which is just a couple units over, and she was saying the Taco Del Mar was really nice, even going to the neighbouring stores to hand out large burrito samples.

Because the Loonie store on the other side was untouched (relatively)

read about it in a Hong Kong MTR newspaper (weird, right?
vancouver news in HK newspaper), it only says a starbuck got
blown up, taco del mar was never mentioned in the article.
Nearby stores got damaged, that's all I know.

What i heard from my friend that work at taco del mar that this was planned because taco del mar wasnt making any money only 300-500 a day... and if anything happened to the store the insurance company will cover 1million dollar of it. If it wasnt planned why wouldnt they relocate somewhere else instead they will reopen in 2-3 months. Which makes them have 1 million to spend to repair the store and probably keeep the rest from the insurance company they got back. The owner recently bought the new 07 M3 Coupe

Police have suspect in Broadway arson
Thursday, February 14 - 01:45:00 PM Lyle Fisher
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver police say they've identified a suspect in yesterday's arson explosion that destroyed at least five West Broadway businesses. Police say the man is in hospital, but has not yet been arrested or charged and they are not revealing his connection to the business where the arson originated--Taco Del Mar.
VPD Detective Rodger Shepard says the man suffered burns to 40% of his body, and he fled the scene in a taxi. "There were a number of cabs that were used to make a 'getaway'. Those cabs have been impounded and processed by our identification section, and also the digital cameras that were mounted in in the cabs were also used to help with our investigation."
Police are still trying to determine a motive for the arson. Police won't say what kind of accelerant was used. The explosion damaged several other buildings nearby and showered the street with debris, but no one else was hurt.

Did anyone see the article in The Province yesterday? They disclosed just about every information about the witness of the bombing except his last name. Things as specific as the name of the building he lives in, what floor, and the cross-street of the building.
Effin retarded.
