Angry Local Resident: Another tourist trap bites the dust in Times Square. Shame about Red Lobster closing, but common sense says you can't charge $30 for a basket of shrimp and expect New Yorkers to keep showing up. The place was a ghost town for months. The city should focus on bringing back real businesses, not overpriced chain restaurants that cater to visitors and ignore the locals. I'm not surprised this happened given the rent hikes. Let's hope something affordable and actually useful goes in there, not another souvenir shop. CommonSenseAtLast TimesSquareShakeup
