Tons of would be activists are drawn to your site, we need to unite and take action, find power in numbers, and channel Jane Jacobs, now more than ever before....glammanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-77675778793304889842012-05-01T19:01:08.553-04:002012-05-01T19:01:08.553-04:00I am so so so upset to see the continuous demise o...I am so so so upset to see the continuous demise of everything I knew and loved about Avenue B (my place of former residence before being priced out). I loved those Hare Krishnas, and Kate's Joint and those domino players between 11th and 12th...I fear for that beautiful community garden that is finally open... Avenue B seems like its slowly going the way of Avenue A and it makes me so sad. I love it for its grit and beauty.

The atmosphere east of Ave A, used to be the last safehold against a constant stream of douches, NYUers and tourists in the greater EV.<br /><br />I mean, they come around Friday and Saturday night. But now I'm worried that in a year's time I won't even recognize Ave B anymore because the whole atmosphere of it will have changed.<br /><br />I don't want Ave B to go the way of the Bowery and I hope whoever has any influence to make it stop does so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-86738830959281369012012-05-01T12:38:08.678-04:002012-05-01T12:38:08.678-04:00Thanks @Robert...

Isn't it the same story of New York over and over? And I keep coming back to the same answer - unlike generations before who came to New York to be a part of it and reinvent it that way, this wave appears bent on destroying any remnants of old New York. Somehow their love of where they came from merged with the need to come here. It seems almost by design...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-46836732610859687032012-05-01T09:20:18.035-04:002012-05-01T09:20:18.035-04:00I really hope this hypergentrification stops..who ...I really hope this hypergentrification stops..who is the big bad wolf..who is someone who would kick someone when they are down and pretend to be a friend but was really a vampire from hell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-91467132244664385802012-05-01T08:03:51.209-04:002012-05-01T08:03:51.209-04:00aye carrumbaaye carrumbaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
