Central Camera in Chicago Getting Ready to Reopen After Store Was Looted and Burned By BLM in Chicago Riots on May 30-- Part 1

From the July 29, 2020, Chicago Tribune "Developing a plan to return" by Ally Marotti.

Central Camera getting ready to reopen months after the shop was burned after being looted.

Owner stood by helpless while watching BLM rioters loot and then set fire to his 121-year-old business.

Owner Don Flesch, whose grandfather started Central Camera in 1899 said he plans to reopen in the former Kramer's Health Foods space by September 1.  This will only be a temporary spot while the former location at 230 S. Wabash Avenue, which was burned after being looted by BLM is rebuilt.  The store had been at this site since 1929.

Said Mr. Flesch:  "We have a lease and we want to stay in our place.  We've been there for 91 years."

Central Camera was one of the many businesses around the city that sustained heavy damage and looting (and some were burned) amid the response to George Floyd's death.  (Nowhere in the article was anything mentioned about BLM, surprisingly.  But since this was BLM's riot, they were the ones responsible.  I know that Chicago's mayor keeps trying to say the looting, burning and rioting was done by outside agitators who "hijacked the peaceful demonstration," but BLM has to take responsibility.)
