Turn Back Time
The other week, I went down to Chinatown to find a beach mat at Pearl River. It turns out they had relocated to Soho. When I stepped into the store, my first response was what happened to the Pearl River of the yester years. Pearl River market has always been one of New York City’s best kept secrets. It resembles the Chinese bazaar shops in San Francisco. The store is usuallly full of hidden treasures. But now it’s been yuppified. Aside from the fact they now cater to trendy New Yorkers with their new decor. It’s not the same. There is something seriously wrong when there are more caucasians in Pearl River than Asians. It’s just wrong. *scrunch nose* With higher rent, I bet you they marked up the prices. Dude! I want the old Pearl River back. It’s not the same.
