Our contributor Cole once again brings us photo updates of the burned-down Armata's Market in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, between Springfield, MA and Enfield, CT. We last saw his pictures in December, with the rubble just piled up immediately following the store's fire.

The rubble has all been cleared although a few walls remain. Cole says he believes the walls will have to be removed before any new construction begins.

And new construction is definitely in the plans, according to owner Alexis Vallides. She was recently interviewed by a local news outlet and explained that their hope is to be open for real in about a year. Until then, they're in a temporary storefront down in Enfield. But there's a lot more for us to see today, so make sure to check out the full list here!
