Death of Sugarhouse

The only reason Sugarhouse was so amazing is due to the wonderful eclectic mix of stores. Hippie shops, hardcore shops, smoke shops, free speach shops, and anything goes shops. But now it is all over. There will no longer be a funky Sugarhouse.
It is being torn apart and given to the yuppies who wish that they could be as funky as we. I'm not worried that eclectic places will disappear. Somewhere else an area just as great will crop up but for now we all mourn the lose of an era.
We all knew it was coming. What with the construction of the "look like everyone else" shopping area just across the way. Not that I am not guilty of shopping there from time to time. Still I'd hope that at least one semblance of what Sugarhouse was all about would stay. I guess all things must come to an end.
