Bridgeport restaurant reopens after discovery of hateful graffiti last week

CHICAGO (CBS) -- One week after being defaced with hateful graffiti, a Bridgeport neighborhood soul food restaurant is once again open for business.

Cook It Mama Café, 545 W. 31st St., closed last week after owner Sydney Blakely discovered the letters "B-L-D-M" covering up a mural on part of the building. The letters stand for "Black lives don't matter."

We are told the café had a good turnout for its reopening.

The incident remained under investigation Wednesday night.
