“Things have drastically changed since you left NYC:”
Thanks. That’s quite a change. Still wouldn’t live their though.
Tell me about it. I live in a neighborhood that was “gentrified”, though it was from ethnic working class white to yuppie, instead of from black to yuppie. Still, it’s plenty annoying to wade through them on the streets.
The worst part is that they ruined the local OctoberFest that is held a block from my house. It use to be a nice hopping celebration with friendly people from all ages, good food, and good beer. Now, with all the yuppie suckers, they have doubled the prices on everything and so many people cram in there you can hardly find a spot to dance to the “oompah” band.
