Since no one can ever agree what qualifies as Park Slope vs. Windsor Terrace vs Sunset Park vs South Slope etc. I propose we just call the whole thing off and decide on a new name for the area.

Please vote for your favorite.

Taking a cue from Prince (some of us might need to google), how about:

"The Area Formerly Known as 2.5M Brownstoneland"

I voted for the last choice. However, I'd prefer a more hipster-friendly name. Perhaps Park Slopeburg.

To borrow from another pithy recent thread on the subject of said neighborhood:

Frak Slope.

Wait, why isn't Park Slope good enough any more? Did I miss something? Does this have to do with maple syrup?
