That's what you get for opening a sushi joint next to the best Thai food in town.

As to "Now Open" it should more likely read "Was just opened, now closed."
You can see the new brick facade that was put on top of the original brick job without additional supports. The original wall just couldn't take the weight of the facade. There should have been a beam under the facade to support the weight.

Sorry Kell, I updated my pics after a brief edit and it screwed up the link. Should be fixed now in the OP.

If you look carefully, there's a massive steel girder at the bottom of the section that collapsed.
