South Slope Renaissance? We'll See.
Yesterday the Sun had an article about how the soon-to-open Union Market on 7th Avenue between 12th and 13th streets means the South Slope isn’t going to be playing second fiddle to the more recognized area to the north for much longer.

Yesterday the Sun had an article about how the soon-to-open Union Market on 7th Avenue between 12th and 13th streets means the South Slope isn’t going to be playing second fiddle to the more recognized area to the north for much longer. We’re not sure we totally buy the argument, though. On the one hand, home values in the area seem to be doing fine and dandy, and we’re sure that retail newcomers like Union Market and Beer Table are going to thrive. On the other hand, there are plenty of storefronts (especially on 7th) that are sitting empty, and a number of retail brokers have told us landlords are asking too much for their spaces and that anything south of 9th is still a distant second choice for most businesses scoping out the Slope. We think the real story is that the area’s retail is going to continue to develop at a slower pace than it did on, say, flashy Fifth Ave.—and, you know, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
New Supermarket Signals Change in South Park Slope [NY Sun]
2:28 here. Not all, very mild mannered and keep to myself generally. Don’t necessarily mind everyone else who has moved in, but your labels and classifications to make one better than the other all of a sudden is crap, you are idiots, and your palaver is what is total nonsense.
2:28- It sounds like you’re one dangerous fella. I tell you what. I’ll meet you at Ocean’s 8 tonight — Bring all your people. It’ll be like Gangs of New York. You can relive your glory days before we run you through. You laptop plinking ruffian, you…
Then whoever wins can go challenge the gangs from Flatbush of the past.
But as long as 2:28 is around, there’s still some ass-whippin to be hand! At least on the internet. . . .
Gosh, it really sucks that things have to change.
how eloquent, 2:28.
and by eloquent, i mean useless self-indulgent nonsense.
Wow 12:46 stated earlier “for anyone who’s been in park slope more than 20 years, nothing below 9th is the real park slope”. I must say, you are a complete idiot. You need to go back a bit further in time than that to understand that the area north of 9th street was by far more dangerous and less desireable. People who lived in the “South Slope” then didn’t venture north of 9th street. Sorry, your time frame only goes back to when all you alfalpha eating a-holes moved here in the first place. It wasn’t the architecture, it was the people and I guess judging by the morons we got chiming in here today, that still holds true. Just a different class of idiots this time. North Slope, South Slope, Center Slope, you bought into that crap from the real estate agents. Those classifications didn’t exist before, it was just Park Slope. Whoever stated that anyone in the teens doesn’t live in the slope is the biggest idiot of all and just paid more to live north of 9th street and needs to justify it to themselves otherwise they would have to admit how brain dead they are. If you have been here 20 years and are some pretentious idiot, I only need remind you how that is not what you were when you first arrived, because that attitude got you your ass whipped back then. It may have surfaced once and you tucked it away in your back pocket real quick. I miss some of that. The neighborhood was really a hell hole, but at least morons like you knew better than to pretend you were better than everyone else.
Considering prices and general lack of inventory in Park Slope…you clearly are in the minority, 2:14.
Comparing it to Red Hook shows how incredibly uninformed you are.
2:14
where pray tell do you live?
2:14- yes it’s a stupid conversation that you’ve chosen to take part in.
Still trying to figure out what’s so great about EITHER slopes. Far away, suburban people, boring (and sometimes down right ugly) architecture.
This whole discussion comes off like a circle jerk (maybe a figure eight jerk) by a bunch of people affirming each other’s inferiority complexes. I used to hear the same conversations about Red Hook (boy did that sh*t die down, huh).
