I'm just glad a local business is using that location. That little stretch of SE 11th/12th gets a bum (hah!) rap due to all the transients in the area.
10 years an institution does not make. I still wished I lived in the neighborhood so I could make a point of not eating there. Vegan food can be good. Why are you ruining it a la Food Fight!? Why?
correction:
red and black is actually a closed shop thats part of "Industrial Workers Of The World" (iww.org). Thats the second time you have done that Mercury! Seems to think you would've fact checked by now.
Don't mean to just pick on red & black, but the threshold for considering oneself an activist and/or part of a social movement has truly plummeted in the 21st century.
What's the current avg age when folks figure out the difference between activism and self-righteousness? It used to start to taper around age 20 (e.g., end of sophomore year at Oberlin).
According to their own website/blog in June of this year, they were contemplating shutting down. I wonder if their 'dire financial situation' has anything to do with the fact that their employee's/owner's are bigoted against people who don't fit in with their stereotype? Even though they are way too self absorbed to admit it, kicking that police officer to the curb in 2010, may have driven a few paying customers away from the store. I suspect that in the next 6-12 months they will be out of business. Who knows, maybe Janine Garafalo will write them a check? They can take their hate and channel it in a place that does not rely on sales to succeed.
Please wait...
and remember to be decent to everyone all of the time.
Here's to another ten years.
