(Updated) Rally to Save Ray's: A little while ago on Avenue A



The protest/fundraiser/street party for Ray's Candy Store continues...stop by and say hello to the Slacktivists... go inside and buy something to eat or drink...

Melanie has posted some of her photos here. ... Bob Arihood has photos, too, at Neither More Nor Less. ... Slum Goddess has more, including a short narrative about the evening. As she wrote:

People stood across from Ray's with signs and candles and chanted at people to buy stuff to help Ray. I wasn't sure if this would scare people away and hinder business, but business was really good for Ray and Ray was very happy about all the support and love shown.




There will be more on this later...
