Comments on: Drink-In At The Still & Star https://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/08/08/drink-in-at-the-still-star/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 22 Aug 2016 21:41:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: wendy mukluk https://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/08/08/drink-in-at-the-still-star/#comment-1103318 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 21:41:40 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=148247#comment-1103318 i live in madison, wisconsin, usa, but i was able to register an objection, so any of you other non-uk persons, give it a try. so many parts of the “developed” countries are being destroyed by the demolition of historic sites and replacing them with ugly, shoddy monstrosities that will probably need to be demolished in 30 years or so anyway. this creeping ugliness and loss of beauty and soul is happening here in madison, and in other places i have lived, such as san francisco, california. it is disturbing that money matters and history & aesthetics & human-ness don’t.

Day by day, London is becoming just another vulgar-looking, petty nouveau-rich town. After all, money, not people, is behind it all.

After reading about The Still and Star (what an ace name for a pub) here, I followed a link that my friend had put on Facebook to discover just how bad things are in Manchester. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/jun/08/manchester-second-coming-heritage-developers-destroying-industrial-soul?CMP=share_btn_fb

I know your blog is local but you raise issues of national important.

Good luck with the drink in.

What a brilliant idea! If I can make it, I want to join you in this venture. Depends on stagecoaches down from the Great North Road. Best of luck and I would like a large gin, please. Drunk for a penny, dead drunk for tuppence. Seems about right.
