Closing Bell: Gentrification Indicators
Over on Nostrand Park, they’re trying to put together a list of indicators that your neighborhoods being gentrified. The author suggests three (including coffee shops and blogs) and luckily no one’s mentioned flea markets yet. Other suggestions? Photo by rymerster

The people posting here are really describing super-gentrified. I was thinking of things like, I now have a dry cleaner, there is a bakery 4 blocks away, the bodega’s milk isn’t sour anymore. Stuff like that.
I drink Stella, Santa.
also gentrifiers work at Bodegas now?
Stella and diet soda are only the harbingers. Once real gentrification sets in, they will vanish too, to be replaced by artisanal brands made without high fructose corn syrup. First you get imported beer, then diet soda, then the Utz brand chips vanish, the organic milk comes in all three flavors (skim, 2% and whole), and then the fresh flowers and fage.
And I dunno what a giedo is, Santa, but if it’s like a Chav, I’m okay with that.
ha sorry typo- guido.
an young Italian gentleman with sonic hair and tribal tattoos.
also alot of this stuff is just old people complaining about the 21st century.
Pork rinds are replaced with organic snacks at the Bodega. Sometimes friendly bodega clerks are replaced by waif-like girl with bad hair and attitude.
What’s a “geido?”
spandex bike pants are bad too. i don’t need to see people’s junk or lady junk. *shudder*
Fewer people say “Hello” to each other on the street!!!!
