Closing Bell: Sign o' the Times in Park Slope
A reader sent in this photo of a sign that was posted on Union and Fifth Avenue the other night, along with some insightful commentary: “It really made me realize that this kinda sums it up right now. The neighborhood is in a battle with itself.” GMAP

I’m pretty sure that dog in the sign is the beagle that just won best in show. I’d recognize it anywhere.
Funny sign. If you can’t take the joke either because you so hate the demographic that it pokes fun at or because you don’t believe that demographic should ever be poked fun at then you really just need to lighten up.
How long did it take before it got tagged?
Chip on their shoulder fools.
3 different tags on that sign. obviously, the neighborhood has a way to go before gentrification is complete.
4:33, I agree – I thought it was a dad, too.
But, about the playground. It’s been gentrified because the new neighbors call the cops every time some teen is hanging out playing basketball after dark. They think it should be reserved for their nanny to take the kids there during daylight.
Some people just have it TOO good. And I mean both the smug breeders and the inconvenienced sign makers.
Dude move to Kansas and face down the Huckabists. What the fuck are you bitching about here?
Why is that sign making fun of how bald I am? I hate hipsters and the young because they hold a mirror to my flaws and they are not polite.
gentrification! fuel the hate!!!
I’m a yuppie near 5th Avenue, with a brood of kids in an expensive house (granted, it was half as expensive when I bought it), and I think this sign is hilarious.
Though I don’t get how a playground can get “gentrified.” I guess because you no longer step on broken beer bottles and needles when you go to it? Yeah, that was a tragic loss to the neighborhood.
BTW, as far as I can tell, that may well be a stroller DAD in the sign.
