[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally hope the gentrifying (chipotle, yay!) will move gently, because the diversity and variety is something we appreciate. [/quote] +100 It's a bit distressing to me to hear so many people clammoring for a Whole Foods, Pilates studio, spin classes, etc. that are decidedly not a priority for South Arlington's immigrant/lower-SES status residents. Tearing down a strip shopping center for a new Harris Teeter or for upscale shops can mean putting small family-owned establishments serving low-income residents out of business. It's like newer, more affluent residents want to remake affordable South Arlington into unaffordable North Arlington now that they got in for a discounted rate. [/quote]
