Landmark Bertha’s Tamales Goes Up in Flames

In February of 2015, the Founder of World Famous Hummingbird Highway Tamales, Bertha Lisbey passed away at age seventy-eight. But business continued as usual as her daughter, Aurora carried on the tradition at the well known location. But less than a year after, tragedy struck once again because on New Year’s Eve, the popular shed at mile twenty-five on the Hummingbird Highway went up in flames. While the structure was small, the list of visitors was way long as Bertha’s Tamales was a must stop for persons, local and international, traveling south.  Years ago, News Five as well as CNN aired stories on the iconic tamales stand. Here’s that story.
