Looks like they’ll be set for many more weeks…

just saying

Kind of in poor taste…

this is peak white hipster gentrification right here, but people should remember that they did a Biden quote series prior to this. if I were them, I’d quietly move to another quote source. I don’t think there is malicious intent, but it is totally tone-deaf.

  Tone-deaf, how?
- dcloafer
  
  Are you actually personally offended by this, or does your objection stem wholly from the fact that other people might perceive this as offensive?
- CHGal
  
  They still do Biden quotes inside on the menu board.

Just bad taste, not a good way to interact with local neighborhood.
- Garper
  
  Probably not. I lived on that block for four years. My former neighbors would actually probably appreciate a quote from MB.

Give me a break. Any political leader = fair game. Blind dog has great sandwiches and cider. I hope they keep their character when the block wholefoodifies.

BTW, not to hijack, but I heard they were meeting a few weeks ago to (yet again…) discuss the fate of WF, but I missed the follow up. Anyone know the outcome of that meeting?

  +1. Especially because it becomes Darrells at night- not exactly the “gentrification” clientele we want to assign to blind dog.

As someone who can see how one may be offended fairly easily (even when I don’t agree) I fail to see what’s offensive about a quote from a local politician.
- justinbc
  
  I don’t either. Seems like the typical crowd who like to get offended on behalf of others.

Does this mean you can roll into the Blind Dog call the bartender over and say “bitch, set me up…With a pint of IPA and a Courvoisier back.”

I like it… it’s funny. For better or worse, Barry is and forever will be a part of DC’s history. It’s not worth being offended by…
