Some of you might recall the spectacular fire that destroyed the historic New York Central freight station and the business, a model railroad store called Despatch Junction, that was located here in my area. (There's one or more threads about this on this board... mods, feel free to merge this in.)
Well, good news straight from the owner, whom I spoke with: the store IS being rebuilt. It will be modeled after another New York Central station that was built a couple of years after the original "Despatch" (East Rochester) station. This has been reported here and there around the 'net but I can now positively confirm the reports.
Target opening is Memorial Day 2015, a year after the fire. This will allow the owner to get back to business with a lot less red tape ("grandfathering" the site to be more specific).
