What!?! You don’t think its just fine for for landlords to force the closure of long well established locations of good social contact for great instutions weve seen develope in the last decade?? Are you againt social harminization?? How could you? Don’t yuppies have the right to endlessly consume the wonderful cuisine they feast on? Doesn’t those new institutions constitute a great cultural upgrade over what went before?? Greatly enhancing our city and country? Be thankful you live in the years 2020-2021. Its one of the absolutre highpoints of western Civilization….

Speaking of support local businesses. Due Covid-19, many businesses have forced to closed or to be relocated, that is the case of Diva Salon and Spa.
