Companies gotta stay in business. Can't blame them for selling what people will buy.

That's a myth of modern America. I've done a fair amount of research, and I can decisively tell you that no company is obliged to stay in business. They can always close their doors and take pride in knowing they kept the faith whilst their A-hole customers went to pot.
What I've found is most companies sell their souls in order to 'Grow'. 'Growth' is the mantra nowadays - no one worries about getting better or having pride in their products. Growth is all that matters, and when growth can't be sustained (wonder why?) they start running around doing stupid things like moving production to China and selling T-shirts.

[quote=Dave in Maine] I see a lot of LL Bean clothing on the Upper West Side worn by people who would get lost if they were between two trees. This made me laugh out loud. Funniest thing I've read in a long time. Thanks! p.s. I'm not much of a LLB shopper, but they do make one of the greatest blaze orange backpacks I've ever seen, that includes a camelbak compartment.

Cant say I'm much of a fan of having a gold boot engraved on my receiver.
Having frequented the flagship store may times, I think their gun room is a joke. I'd hit KTP or Cabela's first.

Question: which area is considered more elite, the Upper East Side, or the Upper West Side?
Thanks

They both are equal, but in different ways (!)
West Side claims to be hipper but the East Side is older money.
Allegedly.
