🌟 Flashback to 2006: Bradford Street! 🌟

Do you remember Big City Cafe, located in the historic Nickelback Building, now the private dining room of Recess Gastro Pub? Mojo's Tex Mex Grill was in the location of Yellow Fin Seafood Restaurant.

As we celebrate 30 incredible years of Main Street Gainesville, we’re throwing it back to the moments that made our downtown the vibrant hub it is today. From then to now, we’re proud of how far we’ve come—and we couldn’t have done it without YOU, our amazing community. ❤️

Mojos was really good.

Oh man, I’m about to cry!

Which came first: The Electric Burrito or Mojo's?
