Hey there!

I read a great article by the Observer that was about the Maffias fire almost one year ago. The fire itself completely destroyed the Maffias building and damaged the two adjacent buildings. This article is the first in a two part series. They focused primarily on Southern Crossing (if you're facing Maffias the business to the right). Anyway, I wanted to send this out, because it's a good thing to remember and to continually think about how we can support our neighbors. I personally really like the things I've bought from Southern Crossing.
