Hotel built in 1904 destroyed by fire in Pincher Creek, Alta.

At first, McQuaig said he was hopeful firefighters would be able to extinguish the flames. He was called by his alarm company about 4 a.m. Saturday and raced to the scene. "About 7 we knew it was done because we could see the fire raging through the whole building and out the windows, and the fire department had pulled all its people out and it was just going to be defensive, to keep it from spreading down Main Street," he said.

"But I looked at the guy's financials and thought, 'he's got to be making some money down there,' so I came down and looked at it and it was the wild, wild west."

If you don’t pay to advertise on their site, your business doesn’t receive visible positive reviews. Why anyone uses or allows yelp to influence their decisions is beyond me - it’s the garbage of garbage.
