Its Muslim sensibilities have always made it less boisterous and profane than a lot of barber shops, and we have become very friendly with the barbers. I am so sorry to hear that hateful speech was spewing from the television when pignoli went there, and I do not doubt that a Farrakahn video was shown, but that is NOT usually the case. In all the years we have patronized this shop, the most offensive thing I've found is the propensity to play graphic horror movies like "Final Destination."valgbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-29507074345510402392011-11-17T07:51:08.792-05:002011-11-17T07:51:08.792-05:00Westsider,

I recommend ignoring or challenging that kind of bigotry, but never let it push you away or you are letting a hater win.westsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054880627414562052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-62838864681536805222011-11-16T11:47:03.693-05:002011-11-16T11:47:03.693-05:00I LOVE these Retro places !

It was the hateful, anti-semitic spew regurgitated by Louis Farrakahn that was playing on the television when I decided to never to return, retro sign or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
