There’s a thread on Brooklynian that wants you to vote for the best new name for Park Slope. Why the need for a change? The original poster states that “since no one can ever agree what qualifies as Park Slope vs. Windsor Terrace vs Sunset Park vs South Slope etc. I propose we just call the whole thing off and decide on a new name for the area.” In the lead is Obamanutville and second place is North Sunset Park. Some write-in contenders are Slopeparksburg and Gowanuswood Park.

Park Slop
Thanks Ditto and Sam yours both had me laughing out loud!
Although I think I vote for Slippery Slope
and we can then go ahead with
Grand Teton Plaza
Dittoburg – agree on Slippery Slope (in this economy)
Crown Heights West – perfect!
Asshat Park
Grand Teton
(I just like that name,
I think it means giant tit in French)
park dope
