Pretty gutsy move by The Times. Hipsters are the most hated group of people in this city (yes, more than the homeless, maybe even more than muggers). Few will feel sorry for these kids on whom fortune’s smile was wasted.
And it’s hardly a surprise that many novelty stores are going under, but I used to like looking in the windows and wondering how something like this could exist. The soap and flowers store near me–I never bought anything from them, but the people were very nice and I was sorry to see the for rent sign on their window. But, again, you have to expect that a soap and flowers store would be one of the first to go. Then maybe hand-made baby clothes. They’re next.
