All is well in Prospect Heights

daveb · July 2005

The reason I love message boards is that they allow me to indulge in the nit-picky bitchy side of myself I so dearly love and cherish. I love being a critical bastard about every fricking iota of some poor person's restaurant and their crappy latte. Such is my power! Bwahahaha. Negativity is fun!

However, What's Prospect Heights but a mix of the beautiful and the ugly, the massive and the minuscule? We have museums, gardens, parks, great food, gorgeous brownstones and all the evil, corroded cancerous crap that we also all know about. Lately I feel like I've been promoting a negative outlook on the neighborhood, due to recent things beyond my control. I mean, whaddaya expect if you were in my shoes? Anyway, I thought that it would be nice to start a thread that's all about the good in Prospect Heights. No mugging, no shooting, no bikers getting creamed on Vanderbilt. No crazy Muddy Waters lady, no sloppy, lame Half service. I'm talking Prospect Park in the summer. The BBG when the roses and the lilacs bloom and feeding the koi fish. I'm talking jerk chicken and pig roasts. Dancing at the Brooklyn Museum and the things that make not being able to afford living on one of the better streets in this neighborhood worth it sticking it out. Get my drift?

Here's to the rail yards and their open sky. That sky will be gone someday sooner than later. Cherish it. Its rare in our City's streets.

Subject: japanese magazine on proho

there is a japanese travel magazine called arco that has a monthly issue on nyc, mostly manhattan. each month they profile a different outer borough neighborhood. for this month, they chose prospect heights. there are pictures a plenty on gen, tom's restaurant, prospect park, the townhouses on what look to be carlton, etc.

i saw it at the japanese bookstore in edgewater, nj. you can probably find it at kinokuniya bookstore in rock center..

Subject: stoop sitting

another thing that's great about PH is the stoop sitting, and having lovely relationships with my neighbors in the surrounding houses (even if we are of different races/generations/economic status). Love living here.....-bricktop
