My wife has always been amazed at the number of young female that do lunch at the Meli-Melo Restaurant on Greenwich Ave. She remembers being their age (16-20) and going with her friends for ice cream or a grilled cheese sandwich at the 5 and 10 in downtown Portland ME. Just a mere 43 years later and boy how things have changed. The girls, all with long blond hair, iPhones, and translucent braces sit at tables ordering $5.00 juice drinks and cappucino.
They sit for hours texting, tweeting and generally not saying a word to one another. A friend enters, there is the mandatory double air kiss, some gossip exchanged and back to their devices.
My wife wonders how do they do this? How can they afford to lunch on the Avenue then perhaps go shopping at Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Theory and the newest addition, Hermes!
With bills paid, and shopping bags in hand they pile into the Bemmer parked out front and off they go,
Life's grand in Grenwich
