No More Rainbow Over Pike Place Market

Even the subtle gesture of hanging a rainbow pride flag won't get past the eyes of those who maintain the integrity iconic look of the Pike Place Market. Recently, the Market-based Daily Dozen Doughnut Company had their hands slapped by the image freaks of the Pike Place Preservation and Development Authority and Historical Commission, mainly because the small doughnut stand had hoisted--without the market's historical commission's approval--a 2'x3' rainbow flag to support Pride Week. The flag has since been taken down and we too question, why such a big ol' fuss? Until we find out more, we'll go with "rainbow" isn't a part of Pike Place Market's approved color schematics.
