City of Lexington is Commie RED.
If you pass by Lexington again, stop and see the Lee chapel where Lee is buried, on the Washington and Lee University campus...has a beautiful recumbent statue of Robert E. Lee. His office downstairs is kept just as it was when he was president of the college after the war. When I stopped there last year there was a docent doing an excellent job of explaining everything. All free. The cemetery where Stonewall Jackson is buried is maybe a mile away, maybe less...has an equestrian statue of Jackson over his grave.
They should pay for the consequences of defending and supporting this and similar businesses. The area deserves continued boycott. Consider that the restaurant is still in business, same owners, same policies. The property owner defended her as well. They own this. Let them suffer.
I hear that the “Red Hen Restaurant” is going to reopen under a new name, “The Cooked Goose Restaurant and Gulag”.
Antifa members get a 10% discount on all food and hate signs.
#12. Proud parents saying “Our son’s a pussy just like us”.

Excellent job, Communist Red Hen restaurant in Lexington.
“They are home to one patriotic university, Virginia Military Institute and a much larger one, Washington and Lee which is not.”
I’m a little sad to see so much criticism of Washington and Lee that this scandal has caused. The people who run it and the professors there are increasingly on the left, but W&L still has one of the most conservative study bodies in the country. Considering what a bastion of Cultural Marxism and socialism higher education is today, a majority polite, well-dressed, right-of-center study body is a welcomed novelty.
“Lexington is not exactly a small town. It has two universities and should’ve had someone available who was more capable of reading x-rays, even from a distance, I thought.”
You should have went to the hostipal behind the confederate cemetery rather than the clinic. You always take a chance with quality in clinics.
* I meant “student body” in my last post of course, not “study body.” Oops.
“Sanders tweeted the day after the incident that she had been asked to leave because she works for President Donald Trump. Soon after, Lexington was flooded with protesters who stood outside the restaurant, chanted and held signs. “
YAY!!!!! MAGA!!!!
Any clinic worth its salt could have made us a copy of the x-ray for about $3.00 and sent us over to the hospital rather than tell us to wait until Monday rather than leave me to make the diagnosis which I ultimately (and correctly) made as the son of a veterinarian. Idjuts!
Did the town business group ever condemn the Red Hen’s actions?
Some like the Blue Phoenix publicly SUPPORTED them. https://www.yelp.com/biz/blue-phoenix-cafe-lexington
it just goes to show that conservatives are the only ones who spend money. Where is all the liberal support flocking to the red hen?
Nike is next.
It’s a fairly scenic area, but not up to the level of other mountain communities up and down the southern Appalachians (Gatlinburg, Asheville, Cherokee, etc.). It’s smack in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains, very pretty especially in the fall, with easy access to Roanoke (an hour south) and the upper Shenendoah Valley—Staunton, Waynesboro, Harrisonburg—45-60 minutes north. And my tiny speck of a hometown 45 minutes east over the mountain, but that’s neither here nor there. :)
Growing up near there, it was always more known as a place to stop and eat along Interstate 81 and a historical location. Yes, they might be able to make a go of outdoor recreation because there’s good hiking and some tubing in the vicinity, but generally Lexington has been where you go to pay respects to Marse Robert and Stonewall, maybe tour VMI and wander the quaint little downtown, then drive a couple miles back onto I-81 and keep going or spend the night at a chain motel.
