Canandaigua restaurant owner reflects on fire at Latitude 43 | Exclusive

Julie Bagley had all sorts of plans for her new Latitude 43. With a boating vibe in mind, she saw Latitude 43 as a Canandaigua gathering place — either four floors high on the rooftop or down below on the ground at Main and Beeman streets.

During Latitude 43's two-month soft opening, Bagley and staff were gathering suggestions from customers on what was working and what wasn't, right down to switching the bun on one of Latitude 43's signature dishes. "I knew I could make the restaurant work," Bagley said. "It was something to build for myself and my family. This was my way of rebuilding and maybe creating a legacy and a space for my children to have someday." The early-morning fire on Oct. 11 changed everything and left her wondering why, fresh off a cancer battle, this had to happen, just days after a ribbon-cutting ceremony served as the official welcoming to the Canandaigua community. Words cannot describe the feeling she experienced when she got the call
