Some old timers probably wouldn't consider the Bowery part of the Lower East Side (LES) really. I've heard people get defensive about anything above Delancey being LES! These days the Bowery especially from Houston up to 14th is being transformed, what I call the reglistening of the Bowery, there are all these shiny glass apt buildings that have gone up on formerly stark blocks, and several more along this strip are going up.
I like to travel around the american old northeast former industrial cities, there are many ghosts there, and you can feel how dynamic cities used to be and what has been lost, but maybe all people everywhere all the time would have been too much for me.
