What am I going to do now?

My favourite shopping venue and one of the few rock clubs left in London:

Oh, no, that's terrible, innerbrat! Want me to make you a sign for picketing?

Petition, protest, and most importantly, donate money to any group with political leverage opposing it. There is maybe still a chance, after all, I'd like to think!

The idea behind the Tube plan is good, just maybe to expansive.

From the looks of it, it's way too small a station for the number of people, it needs the land around to expand, but it's planning for a huge redevopement programme.

It could probably get the same result, better traffic flow in station, with much less surrounding problems to the neighbourhood if it cut the condo part from it.

And I thought the historical commision in my town was a bitch...these guys need one! It's really a pity when places that are such a vital part of the community are destroyed.

I've had a similar problem over the last 8 years of so in Toronto where all the charming old style movie theatres were closed down and replaced with sterile teenie-bopper infested mult-plexes. At the same time ticket prices got jacked up 60% so it's quite rare for me to go see a movie these days. Pisses me off greatly.

It's similar to what's happened to Mill Ave. in Tempe, complete corporate gentrification. All the smaller mom 'n pop style businesses get wiped out in an orgy of developement. I can't recognize the place compared to what I saw for the first time in '88. :(

But take away the markets and the ballroom, and people arej't going to go shopping in Camden - as there'll be no need to enlarge the station.
I mean, who's going to go shopping at GAP in Camden, when there's a perfectly trendy Oxford Street just down the road?
