I moved there in 2015, but I'm just an artist type who comes from a poor background. It's not my fault that I'm only in my mid-late 20's. I work hard for what I have and I'm sick and tired of these old New Yorkers bitching about the youngsters! Not all of us are fucking privileged! <br /><br />I care so much about this damn neighborhood. If I was an old fuck like you I would have been here longer. You can't help age.

Go to Honest Chops and buy your meat, go to the fresh market and buy your veggies on the weekend, buy your coffee from a local artisan or beer from Good Beer. If you spend your hard earned at chains like Starbucks, we will start to live a consumer life that is completely chosen for us, with no diversity in price, quality or personality. Wholefoods is a perfect example of our reality, shopping "organically" but what does this even mean? They own all the farms, they dictate what we buy and now have been acquired by amazon, so it gets even worse. How many small business are lost because of Wholefoods? This protest held by the local community will not stop Starbucks from opening but hopefully rally's strong support for the local business who need your help to keep originality and diversity in East Village and New York. We are looking at a sanitized future if we don't. #supportlocal !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-73780773234110040192017-07-06T12:52:51.827-04:002017-07-06T12:52:51.827-04:00Any of you who moved to the EV in the past 15 year...Any of you who moved to the EV in the past 15 years and are complaining about Bro bars are morons.

Take any small shop, flood it with cash and the next thing you know they've set up another shop a few blocks away. At the end of the day it's business. Big fish eats little fish. Compete and win, or die. Same as it ever was. Some people, for some strange reason, can't get enough of complaining that water is wet and fire burns. There ought to be law against fire burning you because I'm a fool and I want to keep sticking my finger in it.

Groupthink and herd mentality is alive and well among the yuppie, millenial, hipster crowd from somewhere else who wants NYC to be like somewhere else.<br /><br />God fucking FORBID it should be a live music venue with bar and little corner for records, cassettes, and cds by local/area unsigned bands.<br /><br />Nooooo it has to be the 568th Starbucks in NYC and the 6784th one in the US. All cuz you can't live with what you had back home and LOL at you for paying the highest rent in the country (or second highest to San Francisco) to live somewhere with it.<br /><br />Starbucks Starsucks. The classic tell a lie enough and it becomes the truth. Everyone drinks from the Starbucks well save one person and HE'S the mad one. Everyone lauds it save one and he's the mad one, the curmudgeon, the misanthrope but au contraire - he just has seen when the East Village was a vibrant, eclectic, diverse, artistic, creative place which it is not now. It is dead. <br /><br />Enjoy your overpriced overrated coffee.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
