you are a prime example of the effects of excessive masturbation as a child and are probably still at it.
your experience in the food industry was that of a dish washer or maybe a waiter at the now defunct Circles,which was famous for hiring the inept ,who would work for substandard wages..

I think you should get back on meds as you are delusional and sound like a candidate for the asshole of the year award .

You are perceived as a cartoon character and a buffoon , but don't let that stop you from posting you irrational rants.

Stay out of the bathroom.

Funny, experience as even a dishwasher would probably qualify me for bigger things than being an unemployed, idle, neighborhood tattle-tale.

Speaking of masturbation, there's an idea for you to let off some of that excess energy that you normally reserve for such urgent matters as "unsightly" Spanish radio station bus stop ads featuring overweight Colombians.

You say that I come off as a 'woman' because I 'bitch'? I think an apology is in order for that crassly sexist comment. I'll have you know that here in enlightened Park Slope, we have transcended all gender stereotypes, and thus individuals like you and your old fashioned thinking are no longer welcome.

Does an official NYC map with the Park Slope borders outlined in blue, highlighted as "South Park Slope Rezoning Area" and INCLUDING Prospect Park West as the eastern border help you understand? The relevance of the post was to show you the official borders of Park Slope and that Terrace Bagels is in Park Slope. Take a moment and check: for example, every street address on 16th St bet 8th Ave and PPW is ABSOLUTELY in southern Park Slope. Let go of the past. Things change.

Please! that neighborhood is Windsor Terrace and everyone knows it! I am sure they are going to re-open

The DOH can close you down for anything. A fly in your bagel? Do you know how many fly parts are acceptable in your peanut butter:
Insect filth: Average of 30 or more insect fragments per 100 grams
Rodent filth: Average of 1 or more rodent hairs per 100 grams

To quote from an article about "natural contaminants"

"This is Gross, but is it Dangerous?"
Quite the contrary. "They're actually pretty healthy," says Dr. Philip Nixon, an entomologist at the University of Illinois, in regard to insects, "If we were more willing to accept certain defect levels such as insects and insect parts, growers could reduce pesticide usage. Some of the spraying that goes on is directly related to the aesthetics of our food."

From Gothamist:
Terrace Bagels Closed For "Vermin Infestation" Earlier today a reader sent us this photo in an e-mail wondering why popular Windsor Terrace bagel cafe, Terrace Bagel, had its security gates rolled down as of 10 a.m. We got on the horn with the folks at Terrace, and an employee who picked up divulged that the eatery had "big problems" and would be closed "for a while."

When pressed for an explanation, he handed the phone off to a manager, who said there was some construction upstairs causing problems with the plumbing. No biggie; they'd reopen in two or three days, he assured us. The Health Department, on the other hand, has a different story. Per a spokesperson:

Terrace Bagels was closed on Monday, February 2 following a routine annual inspection that found a vermin infestation. An estimated 40 rat droppings and approximately 170 mice droppings were found in five different areas of the establishment, including food storage areas in the basement and kitchen.

The establishment was also cited for rodent harborage conditions and holes enabling rodent access, and dairy items kept at unsafe temperatures. In order to reopen, Terrace Bagels must correct all conditions that led to violations, submit an affidavit of correction to the Health Department and schedule a re-opening inspection.
Given the results of their last known inspection, which turned up "conditions conducive to vermin," this isn't too surprising. A tough break for the neighborhood standby, but we're guessing they've still got enough of a loyal clientele to bounce back—once they clear out the Secrets of Nimh colony they've got going on in there.

Yankee Fan,
No, I don't work for a real estate but I do back up my assertions with facts not emotional rants. Document your statement ANYWHERE that 8th Avenue is the divider. I, at least, documented mine. You seem to be obsessed with this Park Slope vs. Windsor Terrace "conflict" as evidenced by previous posts. It just so happens that my affiliation with the area would be better served if your boundaries were correct, but they're not. Facts are facts. Baseless comments are just that. Your quest to keep Windsor Terrace "preserved" from the yuppies is ridiculous. The fringe areas have already morphed with Park Slope and that continues to spread, like it or not. Did you ever hear about the guy with the long beard at the beachhead waiting with a rifle 50 years after the war was over...?

Yankee Fan
Please! You dug out an obsolete site (http://www.smalltownbrooklyn.com/) from the year 2000 to "prove" your point. Don't you get the point; things change!!! That is an out of date map! I would think that a current NYC Zoning/Planning map would trump that. You must also be worried about a war with Persia.

G2BDON you've totally lost me. smalltownbrooklyn.com is an excellent site, and certainly not "obsolete." They keep up on the changing businesses with those awesome scrolling maps. I have no idea who they are or why they do what they do, but I appreciate them very much. Don't diss!

My understanding is that 15th St (both sides) is Park Slope. 16th St, and Windsor, etc all the way to Greenwood, is Windsor Terrace. 8th or even 7th Ave is the other border. The nabe borders don't change -- there's just spillover from Park Slope into Windsor Terrace, as there has been for 20 years or so.

Some other time this was being discussed here, armchair posted this map


It appears that it's just the store part of Terrace Bagels that has the Issue - their wholesale operation isn't effected as far as I can tell (the Park Slope Food Coop gets their awesome bagels.)

p.s vidro gets tonight's poetry prize


edited to add a map from an earlier thread...

If you really want to take it there and get technical/nostalgic about windsor terrace....do you remember the good ol days when windsor terrace sneakily expanded their territory into south slope by creeping down windsor place and 16th street, all the way down to 7th ave?

My apologies, no "diss" intended and kudos to vidro3 for lightening things up. Fact is; we can argue these things till the cows come home. But, respectfully, when you say "my understanding is...", that's the point. Look at turtle95's post and some of the other links to maps. Boundaries change and not always because of some nefarious real estate agent looking to score. You have people on this site that just won't (or can't) let go. Their lifelong mission is to preserve the sanctity of Windsor Terrace, i.e., Farrell's Bar, etc., etc. And in case you didn't notice, there is always the subliminal slap at Park Slope. The reality is those homes are worth well over a million; tenants pay Manhattan rents; each and every new business is Park Slope oriented. Posters such as Yankee Fan view everybody else as interlopers and can't cope with reality.

apology accepted, on behalf of our brooklyn internet colleagues. thx!



I personally don't have any investment, financial or emotional, in the nabe boundaries. I just think they are what they are, and real estate agents are the ones who call things what they ain't to capitalize. People can pay Manhattan rents in places that aren't Park Slope. The housing stock on Sherman Street is every bit as nice as a prime Slope block, but it's in Windsor Terrace, whatever that means to you.
I kinda like those short cross streets with the porches....

And then there's the happy proximity to Terrace Bagels.
Can we stay on topic about that now? I should have split the border patrol off to it's own thread yesterday... :roll:
