  • Sorry, WildFlower, my question related to the post before yours.
  • For instance, the Y is still there
    the library is on such beautiful grounds
    come on
    there's lots of good stuff everywhere in the slope
  • I didn't even think about that one. I'd like to know why too :)
  • Sorry to sound so lame but what are MILFs?
  • Per the Urban Dictionary, "Mothers I'd Like to F..."
  • it's close to Windsor Terrace
  • i live in prospect heights but spend alot of time in park slope so i will take a stab.

    The fact that you can walk from Prospect Park and see wonderful houses, a commercial district that looks like it belongs in a random out of the way town filled with middle class people that's actually surrounded by 2 mil dollar homes, another commercial district that has way too many pan asian places but some good bars and interesting people, a nasty trucking corridor with interesting places to eat and drink and then a short walk to gowanus which is also enjoyable.

    pretty much a very random walk filled with a person fitting every ridiculous stereotype ever.
  • My favourite thing about Park slope is that I can come to these message boards and read about whats *really* going on.

    Dog Poop, Lesbians, Old timers -vs. newbies, Hipsters vs. yuppies, DR against everyone, Obamanut (where is he anyway), Henry vs. Hanco, The Vagina Monologues, and all that.

    You guys seriously helped me avoid several nervous breakdowns by providing comic relief.

    I am there 5 days a week, I wish I knew what you are talking about.
  • See, the selection of MILFs has gone down since I don't go to the school anymore, LOL
  • Well, it certainly isn't the Fing Van Brunt post office, that's for sure.
  • I take that back...until I have to go there again.

    Ah, *that* was his first name. Dutch?

    Someone should update wikipedia.

  • I'm Brooklyn born and bred. I grew up in Midwood/Flatbush, lived in Canarsie, Seagate, Willaimsburg and now Park Slope. I have to say, park Slope is my favorite neighborhood for a number of reasons.

    I love the convenience. I have everything at my fingertips. That can also be said about Williamsburg, but I found it to be out of the way and hated the drive on the Gowanus/BQE. Plus, it was still blossoming when I lived there. And then it became so young.

    I like that, for the most part, Park Slopers are kind and intelligent. Being from Brooklyn, I have an invisible shield that prevents mer from getting too friendly with stranger, but all of the parents in the park and Barnes and Noble and the doctor's office are so friendly and well-spoken. That's something new for me.

    I love shopping in Park Slope. Not so good for my bottom line, but Something Else, DNA, Lucia, LuLu's Toy Store are all on my favorites list.

    I like that I can walk to the Atlantic Center Mall.

    I like that I don't have to drive everywhere. I can leave my car parked until I have to move it for ASPR. (Which I do--I don't just leave it in the middle of the farking street or block some poor guy in...)

    Seagate is my second favorite place and I spend a lot of time in the warmer months there. It's a cool old neighborhood.
  • I like to feel better than thou. It makes one feel good to read the PS message board and gloat.
  • The snow falling on 5th ave with the Christmas decorations and everyone in their puffy coats. The smell of pine trees in front of markets and neighbors/store owners greeting each other as they go outside to salt their sidewalks. :santa: :rendeer:

    Obviously.
    Thanks for the bump.

    I love Park Slopers who think it is ok to leave their poop in front of a school
    Winstonsmith- I just read your blog... do you really have nothing better to do with your life than walk around and take pictures of poop?! Theres no argument that people should pick it up, but jesus. And I mean seriously (from the blog): "Rright outside the school. Even if the owner cleaned it up that would have been nasty. The smell would have gone into the windows."

    That specific poop is obviously from a small dog or a puppy- do you expect someone to A) drag their 4lb dog a block (which is a long way for those small legs) to poop away from a school (but in front of another business) or B) have all dogs be curb trained from birth?


    get a grip. It should have been picked up but implying that the "smell" is so bad that it would somehow taint the schoolchildren is just ridiculous.
  • Park Slope Parents. Obviously.
  • Only when they confuse pets with children.
  • MOD NOTE: Hey guys^^ if you want to argue do it somewhere else, please don't derail this thread.
  • I don't see an argument :)
  • The best thing about PS is a snowy Sunday where all is coated in white and seems so neighborly and friendly and surreal.
  • Double parking during ASS
  • The best thing about Park Slope is that even though I moved 49 years ago, I can still walk the streets when we visit and see so much that I left behind. My Grammar School PS124 is still there and looks better then when I attended from 1939-1948. My Church building is still there even though it changed denominations. It is still a house of God. The block I lived on from 1933-1960 still has many of the same houses on it including the one I grew up in as well as the apartment house where I was born. When I walk the streets memories flow like crazy. The sewers that marked Home Plate and second base for stick ball are there. It is still only a short walk to Prospect Park. We used to walk to Ebbets field through the park. The hospital where they treated my broken arm when I was 9 years old (Methodist) is there and bigger then ever. I do not know what it is like to live there in Park Slope now, so I will ask my Mother in law who has lived there for 91 years. She moved in when she was three. She is now 94 Okay no more Prospect or Avon on 9th Street but the YMCA is still there. The Globe and Germains are gone but there spaces are being used. It is not vacant. My last trip was in August and what I saw was vibrant and very much alive. :santa:
  • Don't live there anymore but whenever I go back, I can still feel the sense of family and togetherness that always existed. It was a great place to grow up! One thing I don't miss is the alternate side of the street parking, now for then, what a pain!
