Talk to many of the folks who were raised here and still live here (many in NYCHA)and they don't look back on those times fondly and many resent the folks who moved here and made it cool with the galleries and shops that catered to them, not folks who lived here at the time. If you want the EV to regain it's soul then do something about it now, not just romanticize a bygone era on the blogs. There is plenty to save if people get off their butts and attend CB Meetings and other forums for input.

Millenials take pictures of the graffiti on the side of my building as if they are in a East Village Museum. Let's face it, besides the countless tourists; the people moving to NY have changed. Their community is Facebook and if they have a selfie it means they have... lived it. <br /><br />The creatives left along time ago and now all that is left are entitled kids charging through the streets on phones. The only thing cool about the East Village is it's history which justifies paying ridiculous rent because that will make you Kool!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-72831789388656126942017-02-15T10:57:16.845-05:002017-02-15T10:57:16.845-05:00I disagree with the haters: do I want it allllll ...I disagree with the haters: do I want it allllll the way back? Nope. If Guiliani had stopped midway, the city would be as clean and safe as needed without ruining the character. He just kept going: closing bars; shutting down clubs. Bloomberg passed laws that favored the rich and huge multinational corps over small businesses and over people. Anyone who loves that really should have moved to Boston or Chicago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-6164421171500818452017-02-15T10:09:36.061-05:002017-02-15T10:09:36.061-05:00Anon. 8:44, I'm with you; it was indeed one-of...Anon. 8:44, I'm with you; it was indeed one-of-a-kind, and I would not trade having lived in it for anything, just wish it/I had had more time in that ratty, decrepit, magical nabe. The fact that Anon. 8:58 can't - or refuses to - see that the EV, like all of NYC in those days, was a mix of both the bad and the good, with a hefty dose of interesting and unique thrown in, bespeaks a paucity of imagination and an unwillingness to acknowledge that there was anything even remotely positive about it - his/her loss. <br /><br />Thanks, Delphine, you are a great interview.
