Bombed Blockbuster



Remember this Blockbuster about 2 blocks away at the 11 and ochenta y dos?
I'm glad Colombians don't let this kind of thing keep them down
The police are sure it was bombed because Blockbuster is refusing
to pay extortion money.
That's sad in its way, but it also tells a story--that many businesses
are refusing to pay "the mordida" and stay firm after drastic measures.
The rebuilding and cleanup is going pretty quickly.

About 3 years ago this Blockbuster was a smaller building and was
destroyed when the roof caved in under an unusual hail storm.
It was rebuilt to this nicer two story building with parking and everything
