To think of the Bowery being gentrified is something that one could not envision years ago, and its not that many years ago.<br /><br />I think the Bari's were dumb to sell the property they own - it would have been better for them to devleop it themselves. Like the Italians in Little Italy, they are losing site of the long term benefits of owning - <br /><br />Took the bus along the Bowery yesterday and wondered how much longer the lighting shops and food service industry will be there. <br />Seems there's no place left to get a good deal on things in Manhattan. I'm glad the Bowery is safer now, but.... By the way, Amato's Opera is sorely missed too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-91249851050968074312008-12-06T18:34:00.000-05:002008-12-06T18:34:00.000-05:00Anonymous- I couldn't agree more with you! The...Anonymous- I couldn't agree more with you! The losers on these blogs that decry every step forward that developments like these represent are a puzzling bunch. These are the same dopes that call in complaints until restaurants receive tickets for "sidewalk obstructions" when they put out a chalkboard with their daily specials on it, but they get all upset when the idea of these illegals that literally conduct business- spraying paint, washing out ovens & the toxic compounds into our sewer system might be priced out of the market. Its more scary than sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-69886115507315704472008-12-05T18:56:00.000-05:002008-12-05T18:56:00.000-05:00I don't get it.

But do you guys buy lots of pizza ovens or something? Are you just innately opposed to all change? You make it sound like some kind of tragedy that a restaurant supplier will be moving somewhere to Brooklyn or Long Island, where it makes infinitely more sense for them to be. You will not be happy going through life convinced that the way things are is the only way it should be. I get it when you replace some artist squatters with a bank branch - ugh, sad. But a place that sells diner booths with art galleries? You're all reactionaries, yet I bet you vote democrat.
