CUSTOMERS LOVE THIS GEORGETOWN BAGEL SHOP. SOME NEIGHBORS WANT IT CLOSED.

The beloved Call Your Mother bagel shop is seeking to convince a D.C. zoning
board that it should be allowed to serve sandwiches.

But on the street in Georgetown where Call Your Mother sits amid
million-plus-dollar rowhouses, some neighbors are not thrilled with strangers

behind. Citing decades-old zoning laws and a D.C. Court of Appeals ruling, they
want the business operating in a residential area to stop serving prepared food.
