CARB GIRL "GRIEVING" OVER UWS STORE CLOSING

New York City, May 30--After learning of the closing of Columbia Bagels, Carb Girl said she was "dismayed and grieving" over the loss.

"I'm sad. What else is there to say?" said the bagel fiend and Upper West Side denizen. "I had noticed that (neighboring store) West Side Markets had closed, and I thought that was a huge loss at the time. Little did I know that another shoe would drop..." she trailed off into tears as she recalled the consumption of carbs past.

Other Upper West Side sources reacted mutedly, but realistically.

"Stores close all the time in this city--logically, I know there are other places to go. I mean, let's face it, there are bagel stores everywhere, and Carb Girl doesn't even live that close to Columbia," her friend Sara said in an exclusive interview. "Carb Girl lives equidistant from two perfectly acceptable bagel shops, and one of them even carries her favorite: walnut and raisin laden energy bars."

When alerted to this fact, Carb Girl seemed to brighten somewhat. "Those energy bars, though high in Weight Watchers points, are really yummy. It's good to know they're not gone forever."
