The good news: A few hours after this morning's two-alarm fire, the Urban Outfitters on Broadway just north of Houston appears unscathed. The smoke is gone from the street, and we could see workers scurrying around inside the store. The bad news: Until they've regrouped, they're keeping the store closed. Two signs in the window instruct shoppers to try one of the three other Urbans in the area, and ask any employees to "meet in alley." Still, since the damage looks minimal, it's safe to bet that they'll re-open by the end of the day.
