What%26#39;s the latest on the Duval Street fire back on March 10th? Has there been any rebuilding progress?
Duval Street Fire Update?
I%26#39;m bumping the message. Curious as well...
Duval Street Fire Update?
Not as far as I can tell just by walking a by a few times... there may be some behind the scenes stuff going on though that can%26#39;t be seen from the street.
Just got done talking to one of the owners of Montage... THey said that the building is being totally leveled and then rebuilt... But the building probably won%26#39;t break ground for another year or so.
Montage is dealing with insurance and sounds like they hope to be up and running again in another location.
If anyone hasn%26#39;t visted the store or website (montagekeywest.com) it%26#39;s a great place and a unique idea they had. I%26#39;m really going to miss going down this year and buying my traditional sign from them. However, I will go online and order one. Please visit their site and support them in this tough time.
We always bring a few signs from Montage home with us when we visit KW. Hope they are in their new spot by May.
Any idea where Montage will be opening another location? Buying a sign from them is also a tradition for us each time we go down. We%26#39;ll be there the second week of June - if they%26#39;re not up and running I%26#39;ll definitely order something online.
Oh, and as far as dealing with insurance companies and fire, I can totally empathize. My husband and I are currently living in a hotel after our home caught fire about a month ago....things have pretty much been at a standstill and it%26#39;s frustrating. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the fire.
Hey guys... Well as the other poster said, and I didn%26#39;t get details, but they indicated they are ';dealing'; with their insurance company. So take from that what you will.
It doesn%26#39;t sound like a new store will be up anytime in the next few months. I will make it a point to buy something from them while I am down there... Whether I visit a new location, or I buy online.
If anyone else wants something cool of Key West (even places that have closed like Billies), I can%26#39;t recomend enough how cool their stuff is. And supporting them now would mean alot i%26#39;m sure.
We walked by the other day and there were investigaters all over the property. They have gray|silver sliding doors that remind me of hurricane shutters up, so on an avarage day you wouldn%26#39;t even know that there was a fire. It dosen%26#39;t look like a grand opening anytime soon.
FWIW, Montage is still shipping. A friend of mine spoke to the owner the day after the fire, after ordering the day of the fire and not being aware of it until I called him. It took a while, but he got his sign 2 weeks ago.
