  1. “Biff – was that the CVS on 9th street in PS?”

    G10, nope, the one on Henry by Love Lane in Brooklyn Heights. I find most of the stores (including Rite Aid, Duane Reade, etc.) the same in terms of “service”, attitude, etc. We’ve all spoken about this before and, while I agree we shouldn’t expect the world given the kind of wages these jobs pay, I don’t think I should expect someone getting Frito juice all over my stuff.

    you knowwwwwwww how I feel about that bunch of girls behind the counter there!

    Rob – I think hair in the black community conjures up a lot of feelings and I don;t think I should relay those feelings – better left to someone who is black
    but I know that if I too didn’t put any gel or conditioner in my hair it would be a frizz bomb.

  3. The Ditmas Park blog has actually calmed down quite a bit since its early days of unmoderated comments. Aside from a few trolls, nobody says anything exciting anymore. For those of you with time on your hands, I give you the infamous Pomme de Terre covert race/class stroller warfare thread:

    I bet *that* never happened on the Brooklyn Heights blog, Biff!

  4. pardon my ignorance, but how is black people hair anymore hard to take care of than white people hair? granted, letting it just grow without doing much to it will give youa different look but that woman is making it sound like it’s bordering on child abuse. wtf? ive seen biracial kids hair where it’s just left to grow naturally and it always looks cute (ugh i cant believe i just said kids look cute. that is SO not me), i dont know, i just found it very strange. i never comb or brush my hair, i dont even think it’s possible, if it let it grow it would probably be white person fro-ey but it wouldnt be unhealthy, isnt that the same for black people’s hair? unless im totally missing something, like i said, pardon my ignorance.
