Kiss of death…

President Obama and Vice President Biden receive their cheeseburger lunch orders at Ray’s Hell Burger in Arlington, Virginia. (CSM)

Ray’s Hell-Burger is closing its doors in Washington DC. The burger joint rose to prominence after Obama visited the business twice. Now they’re closed.

One of the Washington area's most iconic burger joints is apparently closed for good.

According to Washingtonian magazine, 'For Rent' signs have popped up in the windows of Ray's Hell Burger, the Arlington restaurant that has been frequented by droves of fans, including President Barack Obama.

Ray's Hell Burger owner Michael Landrum did not comment to Washingtonian, but the company that owns the building where Ray's was located said that both that space and one belonging to another restaurant of Landrum's are for lease.

Landlord didn’t get greedy, he just kicked Landrum out.

By reading the article, and by knowing what a bleep Landrum is.

“frequented” by Obama, who hate from there twice in over 4 years?

Maybe this reporter shouldn’t try to redefine the word “frequent”

I thought it would be funny to tell my nephew, when he breaks wind to say “Natural Gas”

We had a nice little Irish pub in town, very popular cause it had a good beer list, and a good Sunday Brunch. Then the fancy “Lifestyle Shopping Center” across the street decided to open a Hollywood Irish joint. The landlord refused to renew the hometown pub’s lease because they thought it couldn’t compete with Fancy O’Pants across the way. Six months later the fancy place is closed because the food stank, replaced by an asian joint. The premises of the old hometown pub stands empty to this day.

Which only goes to show.
