Is New York going to the dogs or the kids?

See above? That used to be Alt Cafe (home of coffee, pinball, and attitude). I think the changes are obvious.

And this article about the West Village:

The children replaced the gays — the men have left for Chelsea, the women for Park Slope. A shop for maternity clothes replaced a longtime gay bookstore on Hudson, and across the street from that shop is one just for children’s haircuts. Also on the street now is a shop for children’s clothes and chairs and a children’s drugstore. In the future, the Village will spawn the Playground Uprising, followed by the annual Child Pride Parade.

At first I didn't get that "Child Pride Parade" is facetious. I've since been corrected.
