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" _________________ Hey you! Enlighten up. Last edited by whynot_31 on Wed Feb 04, 09 12:42 pm; edited 1 time in total

I voted for the last choice. However, I'd prefer a more hipster-friendly name. Perhaps Park Slopeburg. _________________ your anger is delicious. - dieter

Wait, why isn't Park Slope good enough any more? Did I miss something? Does this have to do with maple syrup? _________________ "A man is but the product of his thoughts; What he thinks, he becomes."
