Closing Bell: Meet The Latest Slope Rant
Denis Hamill gets his working-class panties in a bunch today in a rambling column aimed at Park Slope gentrifiers, a group that he claims is attracted to Brooklyn because it’s “a great place to displace working people, for nannies to raise your kids and to rant against Atlantic Yards.” We know it’s the end of…
Denis Hamill gets his working-class panties in a bunch today in a rambling column aimed at Park Slope gentrifiers, a group that he claims is attracted to Brooklyn because it’s “a great place to displace working people, for nannies to raise your kids and to rant against Atlantic Yards.” We know it’s the end of the year and you’re probably running low on ideas, Denis, but, come on.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a loyal and hooked bstoner, but don’t you think this is the pot calling the kettle a little black here? You guys rehash the same dead topics every fukin week!! (strollers, fedders, bahn mi, noise complaints, bike lanes, boiler probs…)

Sorry I missed that episode of Hoarders… Sounded great.
also i dont want to keep being a thorn in anyone’s side in this thread, but im sure you went to school way before anything got really bad in any neighborhoods, regardless of color. that does make a huge difference.
btw, this stuff fascinates me. i think that’s why i came back to this thread again before giving myself a haircut and watching a rerun of gossip girl

oh, i also meant to say I ‘survived’ going to a school where i was a minority too. again, i dont get your point. perhaps we are both hardcore lol
*rob*
yet you still drink Pina Coladas… things that make you go hmmmm. i also survived being a minority in a school as well, not sure what your point is Denton

yeah, well I went to public school in Harlem BEFORE it was gentrified. One of 2% white kids. I survived. Fancy that?
I would, but I’m allergic to rooftop-grown spelt.
