Well, in addition to the crude messages that were affixed to construction plywood at that location last month, The Local spotted the flyers at left attached to the plywood at the Bean’s soon-to-open location at First Avenue and Ninth Street, and the message at right chalked onto the exterior of Khufu, the coffee shop and hookah lounge around the corner from the ‘bucks. Not that any of this is delaying the inevitable; as you can see below, workers were putting scaffolding up at the Starbucks site this morning.
