I've seen too many places having to leave, only to see the new businesses leaving cause they couldn't make it. I hope the new owners will consider keeping Stage as an establishment worth holding on to. Closing Stage would be the wrong thing to do. Where else could the elderly go for a big dinner & take home leftovers for lunch the next day. Hold on to this place as an icon to the community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-28861189552676559122013-09-06T12:45:59.792-04:002013-09-06T12:45:59.792-04:00we need to find out who these clowns are. hopefull...we need to find out who these clowns are. hopefully, they just mean that crummy little headshop.Jeremiah Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-68812691037835065172013-09-01T22:25:49.277-04:002013-09-01T22:25:49.277-04:00You bitches want to defend your home, I'll sho...You bitches want to defend your home, I'll show you how, but it takes balls, no fuckin wimpy picket lines here.

Change can be good, but this recent hyper-gentrification of all parts of the village must have some limit. You can't stop a person from going about his legal business, but maybe its time to start the boycotts. Stop feeding the beast and support the places that need it most.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-87729232474846204822013-09-01T14:01:16.260-04:002013-09-01T14:01:16.260-04:00He's clearly scared you.

All people like that see is "old" -- "junk" -- "nobodies" -- these are the same people who blast around town in SUVs, race to the Hamptons on the weekends, etc.<br /><br />Honestly, our love of the East Village and what it was is being removed from us at every turn. Moving from my 22-year home (with real neighbors) into another building with nothing but turnover has been a real eye-opener... the attitudes, snobbery, lack of respect, is par for this new course and nothing like the EV I first came to in 1979.<br /><br />I often think of moving to a place that values the past and respects its elders more than this place...I'm not sure that exists in NY any more.
