i believe someone who owns the international supply in edelstein purposely burned down the hub its a shame the hub is gone growing up in edelstein it was always the first thing you would see coming into town i also worked ther and had many great memories it is very heart breaking because it holds a lot of sentimental value to a lot of people lots of people had lots of fun going to the hub
