that quote in the Ray's story is cringe-worthy.
"Little Wisco cannot and will not be stopped."
Actually it can, if people don't patronize those businesses.
But I understand that to some people being open for business is tantamount to the Germans invading Poland.
Funny how I've never heard anyone complain about Little France taking over my South Brooklyn neighborhood the past 12 years. Cultural preference I suppose; nothing wrong with that. (Better food.) I exercise my own prejudice by spending my money where I choose. I don't know if it's more effective than spreading whiny, ignorant ideas about other people, but it works better for me.
WTF is a Pizza Spa??? Where you get a marina colonic?
