A reader reports:
“You’ve posted a few times about Bemmi Hardware — that always closed hardware store on the corner of 12th and Florida NW. We might be seeing some changes there soon — this morning around 8am a car jumped the curb and crashed into the front of the building. Or at least there didn’t seem to be any commotion when I left the house for a bagel run at 8am and the accident had happened by the time I rolled by at 8:23. The storefront looks pretty badly damaged — they will at least need to do a repair job. The good news is people who looked like the owners were there so it isn’t as abandoned as it seems.”
