About the only thing left of the Blue Parrot Cabaret on Sunday afternoon was its famous marquee sign reading “Let’s Go Mountaineers” on one side and “Now Hiring Dancers” on the other.
A fast-moving fire roared through the gentleman’s club on Mileground Road shortly after 3:30 a.m. Sunday, leveling that structure along with Model Cleaners, a dry-cleaning establishment that sat close by.
No one was injured in the blaze that took 11 area fire companies more than seven hours to completely tame, Brookhaven Volunteer Fire Chief Jimmy Lipscomb said.
The last crew left the fire scene at 11 a.m., he said.
