Gypsies Evade City Borders in Open Spaces Migration
New York reports a spring drift of gypsy families from the usual Avenue A enclave to lower East Side and Broadway districts. They set temporary shop-like dwellings in empty storefronts, decorate with bright fabrics and patriotic touches, and dress colorfully, with women favoring multiple skirts and bold jewelry while children share in the finery. The movement expands beyond known clusters as warmer days arrive.
