. But owner Mike Lynch says he is determined to rebuild with the help of friends and the community.

"Stuff dripping off the walls. The water and soot from upstairs just got on these. Probably had eight or nine boxes like this," said Lynch as he pointed to damaged t-shirts and framed art. "Material things that can be replaced. It's just the history that can't be replaced," Lynch said his shop, designated a legacy business by the city, has been part of his life for more than three decades.
