Progressive Pages- Need your feedback!

[fudge stripe cookays]

I just visited DancingBear's thread about wanting to come up with a directory of Repuke businesses to boycott and provide decent progressive alternatives for folks.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph ...

I'd like to help any way I can to compile this book.

Here's what I need from ya'll:

Give me the names and approximate locations of any local HI businesses you saw the last year or so with Bush/Cheney signs outside, behind the counters or in windows. Any "I support President Bush and our troops?" or anything equivalent?

Alternately, provide the names and approximate addresses of progressive or Democratic owned or Democratic-supporting businesses you can recommend instead.

Let us know about good AND bad experiences you've had patronizing good or bad businesses all over the state!

Thanks everybody!
Let's hear em!

5. L&L Drive In supports repukes

"drive in" is a misnomer. It is a chain of dozens of local-style takeout food joints. There are even a few on the mainland, called "L&L Hawaiian Barbecue".

Alas, founder Eddie Flores is a high-profile repuke/Lingle supporter. His loyalty was recently rewarded with a prestigious appointment to the board of the East-West Center at UH. As far as I know, his international experience consists solely of a recipe for teriyaki sauce, but you know how it is with repukes these days...

Besides, almost anywhere there's an L&L (well, not the mainland), there's bound to be an independent plate lunch joint serving the exact same menu within a block or two.
