There are exceptions, as even 10-15 years ago, I couldn't walk in to EJ's without tripping over 30 strollers.
What people are talking about is a city populated by the “hardworking middleclass.” That’s pretty much over.

So, the pols and the car manufacturers kiss their butts — but they don’t get much else.
