So...last week a letter arrives at the Bakery...I hear that it was polite but to the point...in a nut shell it went something like..."you're infringing on our registered trademark "Against the Grain." You must change the name of your business. It was not an early April Fools letter. It was the real thing.
Is there good news here? Sure...the bakery will continue. The bad news is that it needs a new name...so here's your chance...help Doug and Kelly and the rest of the crew come up with a new name. Let's make this turn of events into something positive and turn this lemon into lemonade.
Respond to this post with your suggestions or reply to ortizstudios@verizon.net with your suggestion and if your name gets picked Bob at the Bakery will send you a $25 gift card good at the bakery. In case of a tie one winner will be chosen by coin toss or picking the name out of a hat in the case of three or more winning entrants.
I tend to be a creature of habit, I get to the bakery about 7:10 - I have my coffee and pastry, read the news, finish up, say good-bye - walk out the door - turn right and head back to the shop to start my day. It's easy to forget that I'm just two blocks from the river...but every now and then, when the sky is flame red, or a mysterious mist rolls up High Street, I find that I can't resist the urge to see what's happening on the river. Last Friday was one of those mornings...so I took my i-Pad with me and shot this photo...a Chestertown morning...
How about "Up Against the Grain'?
