Park Slope Magazines?

anonymous
anonymous
edited November -1 in Park Slope
Can anyone direct me to a journal/magazine/publication in/about/near Park Slope that would probably/maybe be open to a humor article about the neighbhood? A kind of "mockumentary" article about the history of the neighborhood.
It's too hip for the Park Slope Courier, but maybe too local for the NY Press or L.
I've sent it to that sorry rag the Park Slope Reader, and they liked it, but never printed it. For a supposedly very literary neighborhood I think it's a shame that our most widely distributed free journal is basically a bunch of advertisements for lingerie/coffee/children's clothing stroes posing as articles. Anyway, if anyone knows of any alternative publication that is not quite so humorless as the PS Reader, let me know. Anything that shows up in cafes on 5th Avenue?

    Send it to Gersh Kuntzman at the Brooklyn Papers.
    From his New York Post work he does have a sense of humor.
    Though the reason why he employs "Smartmom" as a columnist somehow escapes me.

    how's this for pimping myself:

    perhaps the daily slope would like to feature one of its many up and coming artists? see, for example, here's one: http://designsponge.blogspot.com/2006/08/alyssa-ettinger.html

    Subject: Pimping sponges

    Hey, I don't mind a person coming on here and selling unique stuff. More power to you. I resent the "Park Slope READER" which strikes a single tone of buy, buy, buy, all under the pretense that it's being culturally sublime and enlightened. Take some risks--but they can't b/c they are bankrolled by the very businesses about which they do such puff pieces.

    Call that rag The Park Slope Puff Piece.
