  • Ringrunner has done the Park Slope one and he said even though he has lived here for mucho years, he thoroughly enjoyed it. I am sure he will turn up and tell you all about it
  • Yes, it was great fun, Rick gives a great tour.

    I never look at the streets of Park Slope the same anymore. Even my own building.

    Here is my review from my blog

    The tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
    the Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost....

    Your URL has a typo: "whatyourdonotknow" instead of "whatyoudonotknow" (no "r"). What's up with that??

    I made a mistake two years ago
  • If I was mean, I would register the correct spelling and then try to sell it to you. It's available. Grab it.

    I did it but if I transfer my blog both people who bookmarked me will be confused.

    Remember, the rich are different from you and me
