Rob, how the hell do you not know what City Subs is? As someone who complains about park slope you seen to be clueless of the few gems it has.

Posted by: Santa at November 18, 2009 11:31 AM in response to Coming to Bergen: Mid-Century Furniture Dealer

the city owned medical center on the park slope side of 4th ave and Dean is called the Boerum Hill med center. or something similar.

I would call this area boerum hill. If it's Gowanus than all of beorum hill is gowanus.

kids fucking love sneakers.

actually kids love expensive shit they shouldnt be buying. Have you listened to the radio lately? Theres a rapper named Gucci Mane and one of the most popular songs is called "throw it in the bag". Its about buying alot of stuff and fucking the middle aged manager.

i spend alot of time in gowanus for various reasons and it will be interesting to see what happens to it over the next 10 years. Every time I walk by the Bell House its packed and theres that other club opening up on the corner of 7th and 3rd. Theres another place on 6th and 3rd that always has shit going on.

"we live in brooklyn... not afganistan! i cant for the life of me imagine there has ever been a neighborhood anywhere in nyc where there hasnt been a baker, dry cleaner, and a place to get unsour milk. was it that bad at one time? if it was that is horrible.

*rob*"

Rob you complain about gentrifcation and then you pull out this stupid shit? Are you fucking stupid?

bakery and dry cleaners? you were lucky enough to not get stabbed by a tweaker.

Posted by: Santa at November 3, 2009 5:09 PM in response to Closing Bell: Gentrification Indicators

the grocery stores in park slope suck. I went to a grocery store next to the myrtle JMZ stop and it was great and had awesome produce and a butcher. I was blown away.

and yes Stella is a beer made in Belgium. Just because a cheese is made in Wisconsin doesn't mean its awesome cheese.

Posted by: Santa at November 3, 2009 5:01 PM in response to Closing Bell: Gentrification Indicators

guidos have nothing to do with gentrifaction. They're the only people I know who drink Stella and that was a sign on gentrifcation. And guidos are a sign of all hell breaking loose in your area.

also Rob I work with some guys who grew up in harlem and they were talking about the shitty days and definitely didnt have a dry cleaner or a baker and good milk wasnt easy to come by.

Heineken too?

Posted by: Santa at November 3, 2009 4:36 PM in response to Closing Bell: Gentrification Indicators

seriously people. you guys are complaining about food in bodegas? I have to spend time on the nicest area of the Upper East Side for work and you can find as much soda and utz chips as any fat ass can eat there.

dont worry.

but I guess thats what you people do.

Posted by: Santa at November 3, 2009 4:34 PM in response to Closing Bell: Gentrification Indicators

also gentrifiers work at Bodegas now?

ha sorry typo- guido.

an young Italian gentleman with sonic hair and tribal tattoos.

also alot of this stuff is just old people complaining about the 21st century.

Posted by: Santa at November 3, 2009 4:31 PM in response to Closing Bell: Gentrification Indicators

only giedos drink Stella

and only white trash drinks diet soda.

so those are both out.

the real answer is "people moving in who have more money than you do"

maybe professionals over 30 that dont like blowing loads of cash on shit they can do themselves use craigslist.

well I make 30k a year thus use craigslist.

W00T!

also any idiot knows which ads are fake and which are real. Does anyone really try to rent apartments with Real Estate Destinations?

Posted by: Santa at November 3, 2009 1:22 PM in response to Last Week's Biggest Sales

im sorry but if you want to find a cheap apartment you have to dig on craigslist. only idiots and rich people go to brokers.

Posted by: Santa at November 3, 2009 1:07 PM in response to Last Week's Biggest Sales

i was just on craigslist and thinking how some of the prices were really cheap looking for park slope.

also most of those window ads are for bullshitters.

Posted by: Santa at November 3, 2009 1:00 PM in response to Last Week's Biggest Sales

It seems like a year or two ago 800sqf floor thrus were 2400 and now depending on if they're one or two bedrooms range around the 2200 range. If they're in awesome shape and have nice stuff in them them more and a yard would bump one up into the 2600ish range if your lucky.

the problem is that most the time the bed rooms are tiny if its a 2bed room.

Posted by: Santa at November 3, 2009 12:44 PM in response to Last Week's Biggest Sales

ive lived in two apartments in prospect heights which were both closer to flatbush. The first was on st. marks and was more than double the size of this place and it was $3200 and the current is on bergen and its similar but bigger with a larger kitchen for $2100.

why would I want to buy this place when I can rent for so much less?
