The pace of retail turnover on Fifth Avenue shows no signs of slowing. However, at 143 Fifth off Douglass, the gentrification tide appears to be reversing: A good old-fashioned barber is going to replace the out-of-business perfume/body potion/candle shop. And right next door, the baby-toy and clothing store Romp is calling it quits after three years. (Romp fans will still be able to get their fix on the Web; the bricks-and-mortar location is shuttering because the store’s owner is moving away.) No word yet on what’s going to replace Romp. GMAP

  1. 5:52 commenting on their mother is not reflection on his/her feelings towards their mother. At no point in that post did they say they hated their mother. I think they were taking a dig at the crazy “lady.”

    If you were offended by the post, take a look at your own issues and don’t project.

    So, crazy “lady,” what do you do with yourself when you become post-menepausal and/or your children become adults and no longer need you to raise them? Ever thought of killing yourself? Sounds like a really good idea to me.
