When you look at the photos in that article and read about the racial tensions, you realize that New York City, and Brooklyn in particular, have come a long, long way from those dark days.
lol @ the part of someone making fun of “those people on 7th avenue with their i love park slope tshirts and 70 dollar earth shoes” hahahahah. 70’s moonfaces!
Not that most of you care, but RIP to Philly Brownstoner. It is too bad — content was great and I thought a real boon for that City. Never quite got the traction or revenue as here. Perhaps RE isn’t the combat sport there that it is here, or they were still a few biff/dibs/noki/thl/brg-style hijackings away from taking off (no diss to you later hijackers, just talking about the way pre-OT stuff that escalated the comment levels here.
I am not sure this site would take off the same way if it launched now. I don’t think people eat/sleep/breathe RE in BK quite the way they did before 2008.
Are the Brownstoner people employees or independent contractors? My guess would be the latter, and if so, no unemployment.
I don’t know, m4l. As much as some folks used to ride gabby here, I thought she did a great job editing the Philly site.
slope, do you know if Gabby collecting her unemploymt chk or Mr B gave her a gig back here?
anyone see the love lane condos yet? cgar?
