The Raven's Nest in Walpole Has Become The Patriot's Nest (for Now)

An Irish restaurant and pub in Walpole Center has decided to temporarily change its name, in a humorous bid to keep Baltimore Ravens fans away.

According to their Facebook page, The Raven's Nest on Route 1A is now The Patriot's Nest, with piece of material that says "Patriot's" covering the part of the sign that ordinarily says "Raven's." According to a note on their page, the pub has made the name change to "ensure no Raven fans come 'round here this weekend en route to the game."

After the game is over (which the Patriots will presumably win), the place will be called The Raven's Nest once again.

If you would like to see a picture of the temporary sign at The Raven's Nest (er, the Patriot's Nest), please go to the following Facebook link: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=352246821453076&set=a.170227982988295.44255.136502639694163
