They are just as bridge and tunnel as the revelers, yet of course, I am sure they are secretly convinced that *they* are good for the lower east side, whereas the people filling Spitzer's Corner are not. The fact that people like you exist is not shocking, but I suspect that you have a more nuanced opinion of what's happened here in the last 25 years than "I moved here after college in 1999 and I want things to stay exactly how they were then, FOREVER."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-33045151674905871942009-03-05T20:46:00.000-05:002009-03-05T20:46:00.000-05:00Anonymous 3:43pm--I came to the LES in 1981.

What did you take to get here, a bridge or a tunnel? The puking frat boys are concentrated on four to six blocks, and are easily avoided. Not so the roving packs of 15-year-old muggers who took took my lunch money countless times at knife-point in the late 80s and early 90s, while you were at soccer practice. So STFU, all of you. The bridge and tunnel people DID make this place better. You happened to be the first wave.
