journalist request: (still) hating on the Slope

This thread is becoming stereotypical of all the hate against PS :P

Two comments:

1. Douchbaggery is straight out of Amy Winehouse

2. If I were the journalist asking the original question I would convince my editor I should write about this thread and all of us :roll:

"Initially, I was attacked for being a fan of Northeastern Paris, which is, in fact, a racially mixed area--unlike Park Slope,"

Seriously, give it a rest because every time you post your ignorance about Park Slope and your lack of reading comprehension really grates.

1. I've never listened to Amy Winehouse but know who she is.

2. I completely agree

If I was the journalist asking the original question, I would have been bored to tears by now.

the "Salad" thread on this board is one of the reasons people hate park slope

I'm new to PS and I think its great!

But can't we first break off discussion of the les banlieues in Paris (such as Clichy-sous-Bois) into a separate thread so we can keep the misinformation flowing?

Miss Winehouse's word is 'fuckery', not douchebaggery.

Correct -I meant it was very Amy Winehousian

Gotcha. They're both good words ...

I mourn the loss of Mom & Pop stores on 7th and celebrate the renaissance on 5th.

And, there are certainly more people in my immediate neighborhood who I would not break bread with - i.e. arbitragers, Wall Street bankers, brokers, etc, who have driven the price of whole brownstones through the stratosphere - but they have also improved those buildings, so that PS still remains an enviable outdoor museum.

And the influx of young wanna-be hipsters is more the fodder of ridicule than hate.

And hating parents with 2.3 kids and side-side strollers is soooooooooo yesterday - and they too are beyond hate, pity maybe, but hate, no.

I believe that PS is more misunderstood and envied than hated - it's just that so many people who are posting are poorly educated (not uneducated, poorly educated) and inarticulate and are unable to express their feeling adequately in writing.

Saddest post I have EVER read.

Wat a sad and pityable creature...

Thank you. I accept the award on behalf of the thousands of wanna be hipsters like yourself who besot my neighborhood with snarky comments and used 60's style sneakers. :twisted: :evil:

BTW - it's spelled pitiable - but i wouldn't really expect you to know that

just wondering how this post from brooklynboy3 is any less "pitiable" by his definition...so loving where you live is now considered pitiable?



"Born and raised on park Place between Franklin and Washington.

It was, and is the best place on earth.

Maybe it is true; there is no place like home.

I have traveled this country. So may places I can't remember them all.

San Fran is wonderful; Chicago is stunning, Florida, you don't freeze...

Other are forgettable and glad to have gone there and left.

But Park Place. My heart lives there.

H"

Fun! The douchbaggery continues!

Sorry for dredging this thread up, but I'm wondering if this piece in NY magazine has been published yet.

I don't know what kind of article someone could write from this catastrofuck of a thread.

Maybe the journalist will start a weekly series about things people hate. The best part of it is that there would be endless material!
