guilty.. I use the term yuppie...
I lived in DC for close to two decades. No word better describes whats happened to 14 th street.. my god its just one yuppie after another... overpriced bars and restaurants (sushi anyone?)..oh yeah lets not forget the ridiculously overpriced furniture places.. and does anything say yuppie better than those "art galleries"?...valet parking... world bankers dining on the sidewalk... a shit show.... about as much personality as i got on my fingernail.
they're going to keep putting up bars and restaurants and expensive condos until its one giant yuppie wet dream..
bye bye great jazz (HR57)..by bye metro cafe bye bye Pulp ..bye bye District Garden.. in its place we get expensive condos, expensive restaurants... a place that sells overpriced beer to yuppies etc..
people are now paying $2000 for a junior one bedroom.. if those aren't yuppies i don't know what..
thank god for places like the Black Cat and Stetsons that manage to retain some sort of connection to reality.. not sure how long they will last.. oh and DC's best record store: SOM.
