What about zipcode? 11215. Doesn't that help decipher the neighborhood border? 11215 goes to 3rd avenue and to Prospect Expressway. And why exaclty are you all so concerned about the borders anyway?

Not much is more annoying than "meh". It speaks volumes about the person offering that as their opinion. "meh" - really?

Ewww Seriously?

Yes - I've lived there for 7 years - 11215. It's people like you that make it hard.

Park Slope's boundaries on the Southern-Western end are actually Prospect Expressway and 3rd Ave. I'm between 3/4th on 15th and we have a 11215 zip.
And you will definitely not get mugged over there. Not much at all will happen really. I walk home late nights all the time and there's nothing going on, it's super safe. Unlike @ 10 years ago. You've probably got more of a probability getting mugged near the park, as criminal contingent usually assumes that where the $ is to be had.

They are Monk or Quaker Parrot/Parakeets. They're all over NYC. There is a huge popluation by my house in Brooklyn. They have giant nests in the entrance to Greenwood Cemetary. They're funny and fiesty and loud. The first time I saw one was years ago in my backyard. I didn't know anything about them then, so I assumed someone's pet had gotten loose. They're a pretty cool addition to NYC.
