Some Rolling Stone guy just mentioned record stores "in the East Village"
on NPR, which I never listen to.
There is no East Village. The East Village is dead. There is one record store left on St. Marks. There are places like Qdoba, Supercuts, and a CBGB store (even though CBGB is out of business).
Where do the New York City high school kids hang out now? On the internet? We are all becoming the same.

There's a Talk of the Town mini-piece in the New Yorker this week that makes the same observation. The writer says that, of all people, Bloomburg is worried about NYC's urban homogeneity.

Does the New Yorker annoy you?
Mostly. I'll read anything Sy Hersh and Louis Menand have to tell me, and the rest, to me, is filler. I let my grandmother renew my gift subscription the last two years because it makes her feel good.
Your grandmother can read?
