It’s odd, but I never thought of that area as a shithole. It seemed pretty built-up to me; just another sea of condos. I always thought the yunnies would be pretty comfortable around there. <BR/>Still, unlike say...Dumbo or Soho, a surprising number of discount retailers have managed to survive around there, like Target and Conway and some discount jewelers and places like that. Frankly, over these past few years I’ve been very surprised that those businesses have managed to hang on, but I guess the mere fact of their presence must scare those yunnie kids pretty bad. Those last two Annonymouses seem really bothered by that area. <BR/>I myself have always found it fascinating to listen to yunnies complain about the city. Hearing what they consider intolerable in an urban setting can be very surprising at times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-86111404326964219602008-01-21T11:54:00.000-05:002008-01-21T11:54:00.000-05:00I understand it may not meet your dreams as it is ...I understand it may not meet your dreams as it is now, but I would hate to see it made over like Cancun, rendered souless, sterilized by the people's drive to disassociate with what's old and bears history (and sometimes an odor).
