“This will only bring the neighborhood up,†Sones said. “This is as reasonable as an establishment like this can be.â€
Says a lot about this neighborhood!!!!!
“mimes and jugglers.”
So sad.
Although even I enjoy the occasional visit to the strip clubs, I wouldn’t want one in my own neighborhood. I like to watch you guys spend $$$$$ and not be able to fondle the goods!!!
““We’re getting jerked around,†neighbor Christopher Gruning said after the vote. “I am not happy.—
No, apparently you’re not getting jerked around, Chris. No happy ending prolly explains why you’re not happy.
GM, dave.

“Ruggiero addressed local concerns that he plans to open a strip club.
“I can assure you this is not going to be an adult establishment,†he told the committee. “There aren’t going to be stripper poles or runways.—
Then what’s the point?
Oh, and what a beautiful photo to start off the day.
“After more than 10 years abroad, Johnny King, an original Bed-Stuy native, returned home and was struck by the vast change in the neighborhood. King described his experience as “cultural shock†as nothing he knew or remembered seemed the same. Foreign looking businesses and high-rise buildings now replace the original businesses, local restaurants and even an old memorable community center.
“Whites and educated middle-class blacks are moving in, and driving up the cost of living,†King said. Pointing his finger at me, he asked, “How much do you pay for rent?†At my reply, he said, “See that’s exactly what I mean. Why would a landlord have cheap rent when people like you are willing to pay more?†King believes that it’s a good thing the neighborhood is increasing in value, but realizes that the new stores, businesses, and dwellings are for the new residents.
1. why did you move away?
2. What did you expect after 10 years? That would be the case just about anywhere in America?
3. Cost of living rises over 10 years, no matter what moves in.
