An early morning fire on South Bayview has left Leaside Cleaners and The Flower Nook badly damaged. Smoke damage is noticeable to adjoining businesses although McSorley’s Tavern has already re-opened. The NIMA currency exchange will be closed for a period.. There may have been smoke damage to other businesses as well. An adjuster on the scene said the cause was probably electrical and appears to have started in the cleaning store.. He agreed that damage could well exceed a million dollars. Several people were forced out of their upstairs homes. No one was hurt.
