A fire at an LGBTQ staple is under investigation. The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to Hamburger Mary’s in St. Nicholas early Thursday morning.
“We were already closed. A couple employees came back to get their cars and noticed the smoke and opened the door,” Gary Motes said. “It was pretty much engulfed.”
Motes is the original owner of the St. Nicholas location. His daughter recently took over the operation, but the establishment is more than just a restaurant for him.“This was my dream,” Motes said. “The first night we opened, we didn’t think nobody would be here. We turned away like 300 people at the door. That was May 4, 2012.”Winning Mega Millions ticket worth $36M, sold at Jacksonville Publix in August is still unclaimedThe fire started around 12:30 A.M., Thursday.
For the time being, the establishment will not have its usual drag performances, but the owner said they’re working to do smaller shows on their patio.
