Back to the topic though.....inventory in Del Rey?

Does a clenched fist in red feel friendly to you?

Anyone?

Wait till you hear about the logo on the new garden and hardware store.

A swastica? Let’s hope not.
Del Ray is not the place for radical crazies, and that includes Communists with their red clenched fists raised up high. Let’s hope bagel boy reconsiders his highly offensive mural on Mount Vernon Avenue. Del Ray most definitely welcomes friendly folks and business owners, not radical crazies looking to start fights. Peace and Love to All of Del Ray!

Obviously I meant a hammer and sickle.

Seriously, there was one political movement in history that used a swastika. So unless its being used as a symbol for a south asian religion, its always going to mean Nazis.

Upraised fists have been symbols of lots of revolutionary movements, including anarchism, as well as Marxist ones. It is NOT generally seen (at least in the USA) as a symbol of Leninist regimes in particular - really the hammer and sickle is that. Democratic Socialists, including some anticommunist Social Dem parties in Europe, have used a fist with a red rose in it as a symbol (don't tell Red Rose Twitter, they may not appreciate their symbol being used by such "imperialist lackeys")

So, er, yeah, a red fist seems to be a verbal pun on "uprising" (and you know, bagel are risen, baked goods) - not a reference to the ex-USSR or its satellites.

You like waiting in line for hours and ending up empty handed?

Now we just need to figure out how to get Marx Cafe in Mount Pleasant to relocate to Del Ray. I like my commie bagels with commie coffee.

But at least the bagels you can't buy are really cheap.

Considering how people around here hate toll roads, and would rather suffer horrible congestion than pay a market clearing price, this place should be popular.

This is hilarious. So, do you have to line up for hours at the Commie Bagel place only to find out at the end that there are none left? And they probably ran out before they even opened. Amirite?

Bagel Uprising is fantastic. More houses on the market please!

Wait, WHAT?!? Please name one national chain restaurant in Del Ray. The chain shops and restaurants are in Old Town, not Del Ray.

Bagel Uprising (the 'Commie Bagels') was a farmers market stand, and then a pop-up shop while Dairy Godmother was closed for the winter. The guy who owns it started out by making bagels in his kitchen, and it expanded from there. About as far from a 'chain' as you can get.

+1 People say the dumbest things on DCUM. There are NO chain restaurants in Del Ray. NONE. And "commie bagels" as anything but a joke? I can't believe someone keeps posting about a harmless mural. What is wrong with you people?!?!?!?!?!

We have nothing to lose but our chains.

Exactly! Makes perfect sense to have commie bagels in a chainless neighborhood!

RE Inventory: I'm seeing a lot more 'For Sale' signs while walking around the neighborhood just recently. You have to be fast, though. Not even two days later it's replaced by an 'Under Contract' sign.
