But it’s beloved nationwide—to start, its array of acclaimed eateries, ranging from eclectic bars and coffee shops to highly decorated restaurants, along with its famous hawker centre.

Ahli sosiologi tentang dinamik kaum, kelas dan jantina "salon lelaki." Dengan tiang berjalur merah, putih dan biru, kerusi Naugahyde gelap dan cukur cukur lurus, kedai gunting rambut memegang tempat istimewa dalam budaya Amerika. Tetapi angka menunjukkan bahawa kedai gunting rambut semakin berkurangan. Menurut data banci , dari 1992 hingga 2012 kami menyaksikan penurunan 23 peratus dalam kedai gunting rambut di Amerika Syarikat (dengan sedikit peningkatan pada 2013). Sebagai ahli sosiologi, saya mendapati kedai gunting rambut menarik kerana ia juga merupakan tempat di mana lelaki menghabiskan masa bersama lelaki lain secara tradisinya, menjalin hubungan rapat antara satu sama lain tanpa kehadiran...
