Love it.<br /><br />"Authentrification." Such a a great portmanteau.<br /><br />This too shall pass. The pendulum of history will swing back ever so slowly. Relax.<br /><br />My Sicilian family hails from Boreum Hill, Brooklyn back in the day when it was a working class place reminiscent of The Honeymooners. My grandparent's generation lived in old once grand brownstones that had been carved up into a dozen apartments. Depression. War. Everyone fled the city the instant tract homes in Jersey and Long Island were built. They never looked back except to lament how "dark" the old neighborhood had become. By the 70s when I was a kid much of Brooklyn and whole chunks of Manhattan were decrepit bankrupt war zones.<br /><br />Then, the tide turned and began to move toward what we see today. This will not last forever. Fifty years from now a new generation will look back in amazement and horror at how society allowed historic bank buildings to devolve into low rent hovels. I'll be dead by then.<br /><br />Stop kvetching about the loss of the old world. It's gone and isn't coming back. Instead, go out and reinvent the future someplace else. Or more critically, prepare for the inevitable correction so you can ride the transition with a degree of grace in the meantime.<br /><br />Johnny from granolashotgun.com<br />Idabloomsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642121597610292434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-16168172101972095172018-10-19T19:06:33.600-04:002018-10-19T19:06:33.600-04:00In my 18 years of living in NYC, I feel like all t...In my 18 years of living in NYC, I feel like all this recent talk about SBJSA represents my first feeling of true momentum...that maybe, just maybe, we can somewhat halt the rampant commodization of our NYC neighborhoods, and with it, the sacrifice of local businesses.<br /><br />I have cleared my calendar in order to show up at City Hall this Monday, and I urge any NYer who's disgusted by the new-normal in Manhattan, and all our outer borough nabes, to make their presences felt on Monday the 22nd at City Hall!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186620826699563137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-27811996144811159412018-10-19T13:02:22.426-04:002018-10-19T13:02:22.426-04:00Finally, a new bank branch for Manhattan - and fro...Finally, a new bank branch for Manhattan - and from such a hard-to-find brand.<br />Truthfully, I'm mindful that two Upper East Side branches have just closed, ironically making life less convenient for people I know who actually use them. Now this comes along as the unneeded addition - another spacer, another generally superfluous arm of the franchise. I was actually more enamored of the Coffee sign than of the place itself, as it was rather pricey, but there will probably be offerings of stale coffee for customers, served in 6-ounce Styrofoam cups adjacent to congealed non-dairy creamers, so tradition will be regally retained. I can just taste it now.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565030682360603009noreply@blogger.com
