Why do they get to remain anonymous? Even if the company or person is known, I wish someone could get them to comment, to fess up. All evictions may not be unwarranted, and change is inevitable, but when I see some of these beloved businesses shoved out, it gives me shivers to think of the faceless men and women responsible.Voyagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344682282425428557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-27165749649123983262013-01-03T21:00:47.117-05:002013-01-03T21:00:47.117-05:00So sad that it is happening not just here, but in ...So sad that it is happening not just here, but in metro areas all over the US. It seems like large corporate investors are grabbing everything they can, like the US is a big Monopoly board. Then they build like crazy and raise the rents like crazy (Wow it really is like Monopoly- and it really is like a game to them.) What is going on?

They then asked where does one can buy a CD. I told them I usually go up to Canada to get CDs.

Humble, family-owned business, sold to a muffin organization. It is a real tragedy; Madge, the owner hand-baked scones and pastries with whatever fresh berries were available, we went every week and you never knew what would be fresh that day. The damage being done to New York's heritage is not going to be reparable for some time to come, if ever. It's very short-sighted, this land-grabbing.<br /><br />http://www.westsiderag.com/2012/12/03/soutine-beloved-french-bakery-upper-west-side-70th-closed-after-30-yearsCarrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-68061666768473679212013-01-01T22:42:56.752-05:002013-01-01T22:42:56.752-05:00Jeremiah...

I grew up in Boston and the same thing is happening there. Longtime, independent establishments have/are closing at a rapid pace and are giving way to shiny new corporate digs. Check out the Facebook page "Dirty Old Boston". It is a tip of the cap to lost Boston and the way it was. I think you'll dig it. <br /><br />The sterilization of Boston, New York and America is troubling. <br /> <br />Keep up the good work, J. I enjoy your work. <br /><br />Cheers,<br /> Greg Greg McQuadenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-48293806979095810562013-01-01T16:03:42.887-05:002013-01-01T16:03:42.887-05:00i lived in the EV when ALL stores were mom & p...i lived in the EV when ALL stores were mom & pop. they were either owned by old time polish people or young newer people. 1968-1970. lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-129257565732693932013-01-01T09:31:50.150-05:002013-01-01T09:31:50.150-05:00mom n pop stores are very very rare in the lower e...mom n pop stores are very very rare in the lower east side {been there did it {loved it!!!!!!!<br />still we would never leave {change change........<br />bethlehem house of bread bakery n pennys herb co n gen store {my first bakery was $113.75 a month<br />no one wanted to live here {i swear as my name is kimpennys herb conoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-32025065396749352172012-12-31T16:45:58.821-05:002012-12-31T16:45:58.821-05:00the food from prime buger looks really good. i won...the food from prime buger looks really good. i wonder when the days of a good burger, cold slaw, nice french toast, coffee......., will be over. looks like fast food, or outragously expensive food. please do a write up on diners/coffee shops that are still w/us. we need all he help we can get.lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-10169286158391844592012-12-31T12:51:21.748-05:002012-12-31T12:51:21.748-05:00Meanwhile, the Highliner (which occupied the forme...Meanwhile, the Highliner (which occupied the former Empire Diner) has closed - http://ny.eater.com/archives/2012/12/the_highliner_1.php.<br /><br />I walked by yesterday to find the window blinds pulled, the doors papered over, and signs posted about an auction of all supplies, to be held this Thursday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-40725294644030961342012-12-31T10:33:23.211-05:002012-12-31T10:33:23.211-05:00Definitely agree on the escalating pace of disappe...Definitely agree on the escalating pace of disappearance ...
