Was there any damage to Memphis Mae's? I was almost on the way there that night until I heard the working fire on Riverside and decided to stay out of the area. Didn't realize it was the restaurant!!!! Talk about BBQ!!!!

Memphis Mae's was fine, we even let them stay open during the incident. As a matter of fact the Bagel store was open the following morning. Damage was limited to the oven and duct work.

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear no major damage to the businesses.
