Something about this board

Now I realize this is a Park Slope community board, however, why must nearly 80% (that's 17/25 for the anal retentive of this board) of the front page postings be about: 1) where to buy something, 2) where to eat/patronize or not , and 3) what is opening or closing or renovating..

I operate on the corporate fringe, I'm a business person, I like money, but why the obsession with commercial enterprise on the board?

Aren't there bigger issues? Like someone being locked up for 45 hours, or pirate radio stations, or the kids I see dealing hand to hand on 6th Ave (I'm referring to drugs people), stolen bikes, knife robberies, insurance scams, and mice in my apartment (wait I think mice were covered)...

The point is if we could all stop trying to peak behind the newspapers adorning the next, best, poorly run, dry turkey burger serving, overpriced end-table hawking, stroller repair and tune up station, delightful desert and coffee slinging pretension, then maybe, maybe we could figure out what is really going on out there...

Your guess is as good mine... said the drunk with not the slightest bit of sarcasm.
