I heard the Lexington PTB were very angry with her.
She did quite a number on the image Lexington business owners tried hard to burnish.
Now its back to square one, thanks to this imbecile.
Liz-her stupid decision really has consequences.I am part of a local “foodie” group. We get together and travel to new places. Some of us are professional cooks, others are amateurs. We meet with local providers/farmers etc and then visit local restaurants. There would have been 20 of us going to Lexington area. We canceled because politics reared its ugly head.
All of us notified COC/business people etc and told them why we would not be visiting. Because this whole area relies heavily on tourism, her decision really impacted them. What a selfish and stupid decision she and her employees made.
What happens when you allow damn carpet bagging yankees into the neighborhood. Southern hospitality took a national hit with that screech howl.
Locals don’t appreciate that. Odds are she stepped on more than a few toes before this.
Wonder if she, or her mom, was one of liberal white goddesses who volunteered to uplift and re-educate the poor ignorant white population of the south. The slicker, more compassionate NE liberal version of Mao’s Red Guardsl
“I heard the Lexington PTB were very angry with her.”
Well, Virginia still has some southern-ish sensibilities. This Yankee chick came down and inserted herself into the community. Southerners tend to be less in-your-face and brash. I have a feeling she embarrassed the hell out of them, and they’re thrilled to be rid of her.
