"Change is part of nature’s progression. As much as we all romanticize about how it was back then in NYC, we cannot be complacent and let it roll over us. I do miss the gritty NYC but how does one adapt to a changed city when one is emotionally attached to it’s past. Like a relationsship, it evolves and thus so do we. Bring it on. The cultural, avante garde and the the hip will always have a spot here. It will be different but NYC can not exist without it. Stick to your guns people, accept the change, but adapt to it. Dont change because of it." ["The Incredibly Shrinking Native Manhattanite in Manhattan"]
