Walking on Madison
For some reason late yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Grieve and I found ourselves walking on that really faboo stretch of Madison Avenue in the 70s and 60s. And all those designer places -- Armani, Jil Sander, Dolce & Gabbana, et al. And you know we didn't see one person shopping in any of these stores. Seriously. Post-election hangover perhaps? Or maybe the richies just don't shop in a light rain on weekday afternoons? Or maybe the economy is really fucked. Anyway, every store was the same: A handful of well-dressed employees standing around looking expectantly out the store windows.

ReplyDeleteThere will be sales!
ReplyDeleteNot 100% accurate. We saw that well-heeled woman leave the Ralph Lauren store and get into a chauffeured town car. You got excited because you thought she was someone famous.
