goodbye mall?

it was early this morning when i heard from my parents that they've seen on tv that ever gotesco grand central (known to us as grand central) is on fire since last night around 10pm. grand central's the first mall in our part of caloocan. been there since we were little.

all day long we could see smoke when we look out the bedroom window (from the second floor of the house). it would be faint smoke then darker then faint and so on but it didn't clear up totally which meant it was continuous. i also went to see the area this afternoon, hehe, curious me. cars were being redirected since the area in front of the mall is already full of firetrucks. people are everywhere, "usisero/usisera" like me. hehe.. anyway, the mall's dark and i can only see firemen and police in the mall area. nothing much was seen actually.

the highlight of the trip is hearing people's hearsay is same with that of my family's guess that grand central's fire is just to make way for sm taking over the location. everyone in the street were talking about having sm caloocan. and even in facebook, posts were about grand central's death and the future rise of sm caloocan. haha... really, people are so good with hearsay. here's a picture i've grabbed from facebook on a sm caloocan.
