"Fire rips through Wembley shopping complex"

For a start, Wembley is a completely different suburb to Wembley Downs. And Channel 7, the shops are on Bournemouth Crescent, not Weaponess Road.

Media. Pft.

Two of my sisters worked there. I did work experience there. It's been the family "local" for decades. Nothing else within walking distance of home. If we hadn't all been together this afternoon at the time of the fire I would have had to call to make sure M&D weren't there.

Those were my shops too! Wow...

I guess that's the most exciting thing to happen in Wembley Downs in a while :)

Woah, I drive past there on my way too and from work (along Weaponess Road). I used to drop of mail from work there. A guy easily talked me into signing a petition against clearing the area in front of the shops, he mentioned some of the trees were Tuarts. I woulda signed it anyway, we don't need more old trees being knocked down.
