It was a bit spooky seeing the huge smoke clouds over NYC again this morning. That's a mother of a fire.

I don't know if you're kidding or not, but it was a bunch of abandoned warehouses.
I'd look first to whoever held insurance policies on them, next to neighborhood homeless chefs, and lastly to kids with matches.

A raging fire laid waste to a complex of seven old warehouses I think I would rule out insurance fraud first.

I'm sure they ruled it out as soon as the first file truck pulled up, or maybe when it was on its way. Of course it might be arson, and therefore they must know who did and did not set it. Or at least they are absolutely sure who did not.

You would think terrorists would want a higher profile target than old warehouses but who knows.

Yes, we could see it from Jersey City.

I had a studio 3 blocks from the harbor in the Red Hook area of Brooklyn a long time ago. The food shopping was wonderful. Great Italian.
Lots of beautiful old buildings there. Brooklyn is a great place. Lots of nice people there.

...Bales of cloth burned in one of the warehouses, Scoppetta said.
That's more than cloth and blank checks burning there. Although the smoke doesn't have the dark greasy look of petroleum products burning either.

Those looked like perfect spots for new condos that could be serviced by a nice water taxi into Manhatten.
