What royal fuck?
I woke up this morning to news that Mulligan's Brick Bar, my favorite personal place to probably drink myself into the pokey somehow someday, has burned itself to near collapse.
FireBuffNY got to the scene and was able to capture footage of this disaster and post it to its Instagram account.
The Old Pink right next door to it went up just six months before.
The Old Pink was burned down by a one John Burns who is reportedly undergoing treatment as of this report -- outside of jail. Said report says that the judge was too impressed by Burn's treatment progress to keep him behind bars and without missing a beat people have begun to wonder. A Reddit thread speculating wildly has been closed to comments accordingly.
The reality as of now? There is nothing to suggest he or any person is directly responsible for this.
As for the building itself I don't think anyone has called it yet but Mulligan's is most certainly a complete loss and it seems pretty obvious that, like the Old Pink, it's going to have to be razed. Allen Street will likely now have two blank gravel fields side by side.
The following are fresh listings in the publicly distributed Erie County Jail Roster as of yesterday.
Booking Date 1/4/2025
In providing this convenient aggregate listing please keep in mind the following: Incarceration in county jail does not imply guilt - statistically, most inmates are in fact legally innocent and are only incarcerated pending further legal proceedings. As well, many circumstances including mental health and addiction issues can lead to behavioral turbulence and conflicts with society that result in jail. In noting incarceration status please adopt a compassion-first regard.
For a variety of reasons the given list may not be all inclusive of those individuals actually processed.
