Looks like Ray's birthday wish of staying open might have been granted! Bob Arihood reports that Ray was able to pay his January residential and commercial rent yesterday. Hopefully, Saturday's "Day of Ray" and a little extra support will put him on his way to covering February, too. Since Ray began having trouble with his $3,000-a-month rent, the neighborhood has rallied with support, holding fundraisers and creating a Facebook page to help the local institution. Isn't it time you had an egg cream? Who knows, you might get a striptease, too.
