If You Have to Ask, You Can’t Afford It
I’m in a quandary. I want new stores and services
to come into my neighborhood, but I get nervous when they do. I can’t help but
wonder, is this how the gentrification starts? Starbucks, Trader Joe’s, Whole
Foods and pale people in skinny jeans pretty much signal the beginning of the
end in any neighborhood-of-color here in New York City. But Pizza Hut didn’t
seem too threatening. I was actually glad to see it give some competition to Domino's,
Papa John’s, and Little Caesar’s.
