I know there are more in the 80s, too. I'm not sure who is moving into what I assume will be condos, when apparently thousands of residents have just fled.

Grocery stores including two Gristede's...I could go on...</li><li style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"><b style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT STREET PARKING? </b>First, I just learned that <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/lyft-bets-bikes-nyc/#:~:text=On%20Thursday%2C%20Lyft%20announced%20it,and%20five%20other%20US%20systems." style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="https://www.wired.com/story/lyft-bets-bikes-nyc/#:~:text=On%20Thursday%2C%20Lyft%20announced%20it,and%20five%20other%20US%20systems.">Lyft owns the bike-share operator that runs C</a>iti Bike. I'll explain why this is important in a minute. There is a severe dearth of street parking on the UWS, worse than people who have lived here since the 80s have ever seen (I know this b/c I<span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> belong to a local group</span>). Between the aforementioned construction taking up full street and avenue stretches, Citi Bike racks taking up scores of spots along Riverside Drive, 92nd Street and more, restaurants' Covid-era "outdoor" seating shanties built on legit parking spots, and mountains of plowed snow piled up on every other corner, <u style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">thousands of parking spots have vanished</u>, and so parking garages have jacked up their prices to <i style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">minimums</i> of $600 a month. And before you tell me people should take public transpo., there IS NO reasonable public transportation to and from the UWS if you regularly travel to NJ, Upstate, CT, etc., especially if you are over 40, which many of us are up here, and have luggage of any kind. I promise you, it's not sustainable. So back to Lyft owning Citi Bike: even the most ardent environmentalist anti-car resident has got to see the hypocrisy: "Nowhere to park? TAKE A LYFT!" "Don't want to take the subway? TAKE A CITI BIKE!" --Lyft is eliminating the ability to drive to and in NYC and <i style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">making money from it while clogging the streets with MORE LYFTS!</i></li></ol><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">OK, so what do I suggest? What do I envision? Here are my unscientific suggestions:</div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><ol style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"><li style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-weight: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Remember the early/mid-80s when the UWS was sorta cool for an uptown neighborhood? I do. The City has GOT TO encourage landlords/building owners and managers to rent commercial space to new tenants via tax reduction incentives or credits. You get more points if you lease to mom-and-pops! Or maybe you get penalized for letting storefronts sit empty for more than 6 months. Can't rent your store? Donate it to an educational or arts organization and display art, interpretive dance, whatever! Bring back the creativity, vision, and art that so many residents up here actually appreciate! And won't this help to...</span></li><li style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-weight: inherit;">...Attract new residents to all the new buildings with money to spend? Sure, maybe when all these giant new buildings were financed a few years ago "they" envisioned top-dollar condo sales. Well, again, the City should incentivize <i style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">renting</i> to a plethora of incomes. I read a story the other day whereby big corporations are buying blocks of condos in buildings to get a "bulk rate," I suppose to be able to sell them off one-by-one when the economy starts booming again. Can the government stop this insanity? If it can, it should, otherwise apartments will sit empty and/or Corporations will be landlords. This cannot be good for NYC culture and spirit. Can we please return to a time when apartments were HOMES and not checkers on some investment scheme spreadsheet checkerboard?<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></li><li style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-weight: inherit;">Hopefully once the snow melts and construction is completed, we will get some of our beloved parking spots back. But what about restaurants' outdoor posts? When are those going to be removed...or will they be permanent fixtures? I know the restaurant industry has been all but destroyed so I want to provide them with every chance to recover. HOWEVER, and I'm not going to point any specific locations out because I'm not a rat, there are restaurants in my area that have been closed for MONTHS that have empty, abandoned shacks, and/or functioning restaurants with street "shacks" that have c<span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">ollapsed or are not being used due to non-stop snow and frigid temperatures, taking up 2-3 spots in some cases and almost full city blocks in other instances. Maybe most restaurants just can't have outdoor dining during the winter. And furthermore, if patrons who don't live in the City can't park, they'll probably just go out in Westchester or Long Island, like they've been doing the last year.</span></li><li style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"><span style="font-weight: inherit;">Hopeful that vaccinations will reach a critical mass by July, I think the city should do some radical things to get people back into town, starting with FREE BRIDGE AND TUNNEL ACCESS, FREE TRAINS INTO GRAND CENTRAL, FREE PATH TRAINS. Obviously not forever, but for enough time that everyone can take advantage of it and feel good about going back to the </span><b>greatest city on earth.</b></li></ol><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">P.S. Please move Citi Bike racks off the streets and onto sidewalks or park areas that have the space. Oh, and also, for the love of Jah, kill that congestion tax idea already--but that's a whole other post.</div></div></div><p><span style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit;

<br />
Hi all. Realized I hadn't posted one thing all year, and well, this year is almost over. Good Riddance!<br />
<br />
Anyway, this Guerilla Shopper doesn't shop as much as she did "back in the day." Retail has changed tremendously since I started this blog, with online shopping taking over and so many off-price stores declining in quality or going out of business entirely. I was particularly sad when <a href="http://www.loehmanns.com/">Loehmann's</a> shut down, as I had recently moved to the Upper West Side and found it to be a great go-to spot for many of my needs. Apparently it still exists online, which I just only found out when I looked up the URL!<br />
<br />
Now I primarily shop at three stores...and I even help out at one of them from time to time! <a href="http://www.annanyc.com/">ANNA</a>, 330 E. 11th St., East Village, NYC; <a href="https://www.megshops.com/">meg</a>, with locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn (I go to the ones in the East Village or the newest location in the West Village); and <a href="http://www.lingonyc.com/">Lingo</a>, 257 W. 19th St., Chelsea, NYC.<br />
<br />
So why do I still shop like it's 1999? <br />
I rarely shop online, especially if it's for clothing and shoes, because even the thought of having to ship stuff back and forth annoys me. I spend HOURS trying stuff on in stores, there's little chance something I pick from a web site is going to fit or look like I want it to the first, second or nineteenth time. Additionally, the environmental impact of packing and shipping seems (is) massively wasteful.<br />
<br />
But the real reason I have honed in on these three stores is definitely something the Internet cannot provide: a community of LIVE HUMANS that I interact with IN PERSON. I realize this is an old fashioned notion, but I suspect it will be making a comeback. It HAS to.<br />
<br />
I can't tell you the number of awesome women I have met and interacted with at these stores - employees and customers alike. Comedians, authors, filmmakers, musicians -- one woman I talked to a few months ago I soon noticed is on NY1 every other week with Neil Rosen talking about films (I KNEW she looked familiar!). It inspires creativity, discussion, hope, happiness. Better than a book club; better than Starbucks!<br />
<br />
And yes, granted, I spend more money than I might if I shopped at H&M or hunted down every last online discount. 'Cuz I'm Worth It. Aren't you?<br />
<br />
xoxo GS<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d;">Yes, yes, I have been off doing baseball things for years, but today I was inspired...no, REQUIRED to share with you what I sort of accidentally saw at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. You must visit the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2015/china-through-the-looking-glass">China: Through the Looking Glass</a> couture fashion exhibit, open until September 7, 2015. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d;">With no plan this morning, I spontaneously figured out how I could get myself and a friend into the museum for free through my day job, kind of saw a headline about this particular show in the <i>New York Observer</i>...and well, it was one of those perfect days that you had no idea was ahead of you. Those folk over there at the museum sure do know how to curate themselves an exhibit! Breathtaking.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #20124d;">And I even got 10% off on a Chinese-inspired beaded necklace in the museum shop! Everyone wins!</span></div>

Tights that were $46 are $8. I ordered some and they arrived THE NEXT DAY. They do charge for delivery, but the prices are like Crazy Eddie: INSANE. And the quality is way above the norm.<br />

My baseball rants have become a separate human. Please like me as much as the Academy liked Sally Field back in 1984: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bullpenbetty">www.facebook.com/bullpenbetty</a><br />
<br />
My passion (obsession?) just makes me wanna bring humor & help restore the cool factor to baseball, while challenging stereotypes about sports & gender. With ridiculous emphasis on the New York Yankees. (Sorry mom).<br />

<span style="color: black;"><span><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A graduate of the prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in London, Ukranian-born luxury designer Ekaterina Kukhareva masterfully puts to use her degree in Textile & Knitwear by creating designs with emphasis on crochet, macramé, fringing and beading. These meticulously crafted garments, both heavy in detail and bright in color, range from structured jacquard jackets to mod neon shift dresses and knit 60's print high-waist shorts. With each piece as unique as the next (she hand-engineers her own prints), Ekaterina manages to design garments which stay true to her love of texture and knits. Bold hues of color are paired with rich neutrals to create unexpected color combinations on modern cuts, all of which allow the fashion-forward to stand out in a crowd.</span><strong> </strong></span></span></span></span>Guerilla Shopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452167602980115837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12491257.post-10060126422631570242013-06-06T22:41:00.001-04:002013-06-06T22:41:52.241-04:00British Luxury Shoe Designer Joanne Stoker Debuts In The States for Spring 13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For Spring, Joanne Stoker found inspiration in the idyllic boardwalks and seaside getaways familiar to her native UK and each design is infused with Stoker’s inimitable sense of fun and play. The collection features modern textures and fabrics and a range of different heel heights for the wearers mood. Styles like the ‘Jitterbug’ or ‘Mambo’ are named after old dancehall classics and deliver high-fashion, high-fun architectural heels. Bold candy stripes work their way into a range of flats and graphic raffia’s, with oversized lurex bows used to bring a femininity to sky-high platform styles.Guerilla Shopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452167602980115837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12491257.post-16286827857853342322013-06-06T22:36:00.001-04:002013-06-06T22:36:27.280-04:00ODD Kofta Screaming Backpack<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While I have not seen what any of these shoes look like in person, I just spent about an hour designing a few pairs. And I could easily spend countless hours on more.<br />

The options are endless; I'm not sure what the mathematical permutation is, but I think that <b>infinity</b> might be close to the number of combinations of styles you could come up with.</span> AND they cater to all types of shoe lovers: Shoe Hootchie, Shoe Virgin, Shoe Maniac, Shoe Guru, Shoelapalosa, Shoe Jockey, Shoeless Joe Jackson ... you name it.<br />

Vill's Change of Season Closing End of January!I feel like my child is leaving me. I came across <a href="http://www.changeofseasonnyc.com/">Change of Season</a> the week it opened some 3+ years ago and became friends with Clinton and Marco...and now, they are leaving for Amsterdam. Weep.<br />
<br />
Good news is everything is on sale-is major-is, however word has it that things are vanishing fast!<br />
<br />
Hope to visit my semi-retail pals soon in Europe.<br />
<br />
Wow time flies when you are shopping.<br />
GOOD LUCK C&M!<br />
