So...what's going on with the old Tea Lounge space?

At one point, it was much hyped-up that it would become The Park Slope Meeting House, but I have seen no updates, so I assume that fell through?

I saw the gate open and they were painting it neon green.  Any one knows what is going on?

Worst idea ever. Hopefully it will become a good restaurant or cocktail bar.

A different café.

The author failed to mention the elephant in the room, or should I say the double wide stroller in the room. Do the new owners intend this to be another Tea Loungesque daycare? If not, how are they pushing back on that?

Has anyone else noticed fewer strollers on 7th Ave and more middle schoolers?

...A lot of new parents seem to be priced out of Park Slope and living in Prospect Heights and western Crown Heights.

Amd yet the schoolyard and playground at ps 321 are still full of young kids every day...

And the playground of PS321 still has those "temporary" classrooms

Don't see how you can keep stroller parents out/away unless.  You can have a "no strollers inside" sign, but will have a parking lot of them outside.  You can blare music but that's annoying to everyone.  Put lots more tables so its hard to be inside with strollers/kids, but you lose the comfy feeling.  What makes a place attractive to those of us with strollers is space, and tea lounge has it. 

I'd say if you don't like kids/strollers/parents, there are tons of other coffee houses nearby.

Affording even a 2-bedroom in Park Slope seems like it would be very difficult without parental 'help'. Owning even a very modest 2-bedroom tenement apartment seems to barely squeak in under $4000/month after a six-figure down payment, which a well-employed couple could swing— but not very easily.

Of course, increased inequality also means a larger population of very wealthy grandparents willing to offer a pre-inheritance to have their grandbabies raised in the best neighborhood.
