He basically said he drove New York City not for the working class but for the rich. It shows everyday when you see less and less working class represented. Bloomberg was a moron who bought his way into power and is remembered as the idiot who tried to ban large sugary sodas. If you don't believe he was the force behind this then you need to go join the tea party my dear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-77519639238737965812014-07-01T15:51:39.590-04:002014-07-01T15:51:39.590-04:00please stop using bloomburg as a fall guy. this a ...please stop using bloomburg as a fall guy. this a a global trend, the same developers are involved. off shore $ ect. bloomburg is just part of the food chain like obama is. lets see how much developement stops w/your friend di blasio.

The results of his tenure - a real estate, land-use and demographic tsunami - are unbelievable and permanent. His intention was not just to enable banker and real estate forces; he also sought to transform NYC into a place for the affluent, consumeristic young - and to get rid of anything and anyone else.

Some years ago, I bumped into a marvelous paper and historic photos dealer at the Garage - we became weekend associates, as he always had such beautiful wares. One week, he showed me an entire printed archive - photos, reviews, programs, documents, letters - of a local vaudevillian family. Knowing that I would never split it up, he gave me a very good price on it... and sure enough, I still have it to this day, safe and sound. With the Garage now a lost pleasure, the archive will take on yet another level of nostalgia. Such things hurt...<br /><br />As for ebay? Sure - the sanitized, predictable, cookie-cutter version of antiquing... the joy of the hunt, and the surprise (such as the vaudeville archives), is entirely lost - but I suppose some are far more comfortable that way... sigh.Danielle Bennignusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-75806273925476121262014-06-30T23:26:09.068-04:002014-06-30T23:26:09.068-04:00thats a place i wouldnt have gone too.

Umm…how about..."Umm....try EBAY maybe?" <br /><br />Umm…how about I like to leave my house every once in a while and not wait for stuff in the mail that I have to go and pick up at the post office. If I have a choice between going to a flea market and rummaging through some cool old stuff that I can see first hand and buy on the spot, or waiting on line at the post office, which one do you think sounds more interesting?<br /><br />If you chose 'picking stuff up at the post office', you've lost and there will be some lovely parting gifts for you on the way out.

When there is no history, no memories, nothing to cling to or fondly recall, then you can be bought and sold, and marketed to endlessly Then everything is "new" and the forces in power control the present and the future. They create a new present with every new marketing gimmick.

It really sucks that the garage is gone, in fact it sucks that at one time in a two or three block area there were five flea markets including the garage, now there is one left. I've come across some legendary finds at these places. This is what the reputation of this town is built on, not condos! I don't know what to say anymore except to ask the question, yet again: what the hell happened to New York City? Seriously, people want to come here now? For what, chain stores and artisanal food.
