Anyone familiar with Lexington know if they are red or blue?
So the “Red Hen” laid a big, fat, egg in Lexington...well, that goes with liberalism.

Welcoming, unless you’re a Trump supporter.
Leave negative reviews on TripAdvisor and Yelp.
So others are paying for the sins of the Red Hen; so typical of the Left. The Red Hen is still in business, and and well booked from what I have read elsewhere. More work to be done.
It’s a beautiful area but what else do you do but visit Washington & Lee, drop a penny on Traveller’s grave and visit the military academy? Sounds like this kind of activity is something conservatives would do more than left wingers. But I may be wrong.
You can see how many “open” tables hey have by going to their Yelp reservation system:

Ignore Red Hen. Visit Jackson’s home.

I have a feeling this may be a bleed over effect related to Washington & Lee University. As with most universities, W&L seems to be suffering from an internal coup by leftist academics. Sooner rather than later, they’re going to start demanding that R. E. Lee be wiped from memory. They’re already demanding that Lee Chapel be renamed.
Visit Lexington and stay at the Robert E. Lee Hotel. That’ll show them.
As soon as the Red Hen is boarded up.....a surge of tourism will commence.
It’s almost as if actions have consequences or something.
Who knew?
I wish some enterprising journo would ask the people who own The Red Hen is the biz is receiving any outside financial assistance to stay afloat. If someone is funneling money to the restaurant, it would interesting to know who, how much, and why.

Lexington is a college town so it’s filled with lefties. The area is fairly conservative and we actually considered moving there a few years back too..
