journalist request: (still) hating on the Slope

Two comments:

1. Douchbaggery is straight out of Amy Winehouse

2. If I were the journalist asking the original question I would convince my editor I should write about this thread and all of us :roll:

I mourn the loss of Mom & Pop stores on 7th and celebrate the renaissance on 5th.

And, there are certainly more people in my immediate neighborhood who I would not break bread with - i.e. arbitragers, Wall Street bankers, brokers, etc, who have driven the price of whole brownstones through the stratosphere - but they have also improved those buildings, so that PS still remains an enviable outdoor museum.

And the influx of young wanna-be hipsters is more the fodder of ridicule than hate.

And hating parents with 2.3 kids and side-side strollers is soooooooooo yesterday - and they too are beyond hate, pity maybe, but hate, no.

I believe that PS is more misunderstood and envied than hated - it's just that so many people who are posting are poorly educated (not uneducated, poorly educated) and inarticulate and are unable to express their feeling adequately in writing.
