The Gentrification of Main Street

Main Street had a classic pool hall, Hustlers, chisellers, and those who like to fool all, Second-hand stores along the way, And the old Helen's Grill greasy spoon café. Now, Main Street's no longer the same; Developers and yuppies have changed the game. They say it’s all for common good, But the oldsters miss their good old neighbourhood.

Nice introduction to a new word. My cousin just posted on Facebook a picture of my old home town, probably ten years before I lived there. What a difference especially from the way it looks now. Great write, Anthony; I like gentrification; it's new to me.
