Ghost Stroller on Union

I see the ghost stroller as a insult to the ghost bikes where people have die. who ever the artist is probably did it for shock value.

For the record, I still find plenty to read in the NYT, print copy and blogs.

Agreed. As installation art or political theater, it was shallow.

I will simply say it remains better than its competition (the Daily News and The Post), but that its quality has significantly decreased.

I'm a reluctant daily subscriber.

whynot, get your tools out...
It MOVED, to Berkeley and 6th. That's what I learned today by following #parkslope on Twitter.

O, and Vanity Fair's blog picked up on the NYT's piece.

Someone should chop it up or spray paint it hot pink

Are you sure that's not where chupacabra left it? Perhaps someone just saw it there, on the trash pile (as in the photo) and twittered its new location.

Yeah, but that pic shows it opened up not set aside for the trash

True. It looks like the chupacabra didn't get rid of it well enough.

....I guess who ever put the thing up lives very locally,

OR

...maybe the media that got beat out by NYT, treked to Park Slope only to be disappointed it wasn't there. Then, they got excited when they saw it on a trash pile and brought it back to life in an act of "Journalistic license"

Let the media have fun. They are underpaid, and must be desperate for a story.

A $5 used stroller + a chain + some white paint = news.

P.S. if you look at the picture closely,

you can see that the fake ghost stroller has only become upright. It isn't locked.

Someone could (and should) push it away once and for all.

"A crossing guard who works on the corner of Berkeley and Sixth, in front of Public School 282, said Tuesday morning that she was appalled that someone had moved what she assumed to be a memorial for a young child. She placed it in front of the school as a warning to cars and pedestrians about road safety."

....at least the crossing guard had good intentions.

run free stroller! run free with the buffalo!

It's gone, I just walked by to find it and either some one tossed it or it's roaming free.

Hopefully you are right.

BTW, here's a picture of you that someone snapped as you were walking around Mexico a while ago.



I'm starting to like you.

Are you, um, single?

Sorry I'm kinda attracted to livestock. But if you ever want to grab a goat taco some weekend, let me know.

I have some single friends who smell like livestock.

...and am always up for a trip to the Red Hook ball fields for tacos.

I'm not sure if they have goat though.

I hope IT is gone forever!

I was getting ready for work this morning, and 1010WINS was talking about it.

The link if anyone cares: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2010/08/17/mysterious-ghost-stroller-causing-a-stir-in-park-slope/

Ugly, gross, and waaaaay too much media coverage. If it was truly a "statement" the stroller would've been three times as big.
