...@ Ken Mac: the new sign & storefront is shit.<br />@ John Charles: Agreed, but...since when can you not be cranky and cantankerous in New York?<br />@ JMoss: great article in the NYT, the bit on hyper-gentrification is spot on. I fear that the tidal wave of blandness is cresting--when I want to go to Paul's for a burger and friends want 5 Guys, it's a harbinger of bad things to come...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-78090515779547604732015-04-07T16:33:13.663-04:002015-04-07T16:33:13.663-04:00On Ken Macs comment the writers tone & more pe...On Ken Macs comment the writers tone & more pertinent the "cranky," characterization in the headline, I am annoyed. He is not cranky in what he says, he has an opinion and a perspective which is not necessarily inspirational & inspirational as is our New York City current default emotion.<br />All change is not bad, yet certain change can be.And when it is dictated by the few for the service or servitude of the many I think someone when have a critical critique of that and be justified. We are so petrified in this city that something we say or do; a tax we levy or a stand we take will somehow slow down and eventually stop the great economic machine of NYC & will throw us into such a tale spin we will return to the gang wars and crack epidemics crime ridden city of the past. Speak up speak out and be critical your not cranky.

That green-ish tinge of weathered copper seemed to speak visual volumes of the heyday of Ellis Island immigrants... a moment invoked simply by looking at that sign. At least the shop owners could try to preserve the sign and display it somewhere inside the shop, as a nod to its past, a conversation piece unlike any other. That kind of thing actually makes a business stand out as worthy of remembering, not to emotion respectful.
