Downtown Prince George business owners expressed shock following the explosion Wednesday at the former Achillion Greek Restaurant.on Fourth Avenue and Dominion Street,
Downtown Prince George said several businesses in that immediate area will remain closed as the power and gas have been shut off to ensure no further incidents. Many more businesses will have much longer lasting effects as they deal with shattered windows, damaged interiors, and lost merchandise. “Fourth Avenue, often described as Specialty Avenue, has been hit the hardest and it pains me to think they were all in the midst of hosting a fabulous block party this coming Saturday. Now they are faced with repairing windows and cleaning up their shops and restaurants. We hope the community will be there when they open their doors again.”
