Funny that no one cared about the flag until some teenage idiot had it in a picture and did a crime. Time to jump off of the "everything is racist and pour on the guilt over something that happened in the past" bandwagon. If you don't like it, tough. Go somewhere else. I think the restaurant will be OK without your judging rear ends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-5136652371399096172015-10-19T10:33:53.168-04:002015-10-19T10:33:53.168-04:00I never knew OK Cafe doesn't accept African pe...I never knew OK Cafe doesn't accept African people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-35647845563605366762015-10-18T14:53:17.966-04:002015-10-18T14:53:17.966-04:00The word Racist has lost its meaning thanks to ign...The word Racist has lost its meaning thanks to ignorant people like Anonymous on October 17, 2015 at 3:11 PM.

I'm not mad, as a matter fact I'm quite happy that ignorant, callous, racist people are still ignorant enough to voice and show their true colors, thank you - it's a constant reminder that 400 years after white people enslaved Africans that we are still not accepted in this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-50274060025019478892015-10-16T09:51:23.035-04:002015-10-16T09:51:23.035-04:00Agree with the previous poster.

I suppose these same "offended" breakfast-eaters will never patronize the Atlanta History Center right up West Paces Ferry Road? <br /><br />If there were a picture of our solar system with Pluto shown as our 9th planet would you be so indignant? We live and learn.<br /> <br />Most people I know go to restaurants for the food and service, not the "artwork". Don't worry OK Café, we'll be by to eat very soon.

I'd say 15% of opening costs are due to the Office of Buildings' permit delays. Not only are businesses losing money, but so is the city due to this departments inefficiency.
