StreetLevel: Baby Biz Out, Barber In on Fifth Ave.
The pace of retail turnover on Fifth Avenue shows no signs of slowing. However, at 143 Fifth off Douglass, the gentrification tide appears to be reversing: A good old-fashioned barber is going to replace the out-of-business perfume/body potion/candle shop. And right next door, the baby-toy and clothing store Romp is calling it quits after three…
The pace of retail turnover on Fifth Avenue shows no signs of slowing. However, at 143 Fifth off Douglass, the gentrification tide appears to be reversing: A good old-fashioned barber is going to replace the out-of-business perfume/body potion/candle shop. And right next door, the baby-toy and clothing store Romp is calling it quits after three years. (Romp fans will still be able to get their fix on the Web; the bricks-and-mortar location is shuttering because the store’s owner is moving away.) No word yet on what’s going to replace Romp. GMAP
“Not all mothers are perfect, 5:57. Guess you think we should love them no matter what.”
Yep, that’s the general idea. If they have some of the problems you mentioned, their loved ones should try to get them help. If they refuse help, there isn’t much anyone can do. But deriding the person on a blog is wrong anyway you look at it. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Dear Physcho Mother and Wife:
Please don’t show your husband this thread tonight. He won’t be pleased that the only reason you’ve married him and had a child was so that you “weren’t as poor” and “not as lonely”
God you are pathetic.
Not all mothers are perfect, 5:57.
Guess you think we should love them no matter what.
Even the ones who drown their own kids, leave them in a 100 degree car, abuse them, or wake up in a pool of their own vomit every night.
I guarantee you your daughter is going to need some SERIOUS therapy when she gets older. And clearly I’m not the only one on this thread who thinks you’re nuttier than a grey squirrel in heat.
Wow 5:52 – imagine that – your Mom sacrificed her happiness to do what she thought was right – which was presumably for YOU.
and now you mock and deride her on a message board. Very nice!
I assume you normal posts are rants about the self-absorbed “entitled” park slope parents….
It would be redundant but amusing if you signed all your future posts with the tag – Hypocrite
“5:36 sounds like my mother – who was married to my dad for over 50 years, was a raging alcoholic, suffered from depression and was the loneliest and most self-loathing person I ever knew.”
You must be pretty well adjusted to trash your Mom in this way.
you sound so unhappy, 5:42.
it comes through in every one of your posts.
5:42 needs a nap and a diaper change.
5:36 sounds like my mother – who was married to my dad for over 50 years, was a raging alcoholic, suffered from depression and was the loneliest and most self-loathing person I ever knew.
So glad she did what was expected of her instead of what made her happy.
Too bad she didn’t live in Park Slope. She would have met more people just like her and they could have wallowed in their misery togehter at Snooky’s (until that too closed).
Maybe one of the brats in the hood will re-open it
Oh and BTW – I am not a “lady” and I am happily married; but to be happily MARRIED it takes work and sacrifice – and you give up a certain portion of yourself (as well as many legal rights) for the good of the whole – and even then it often doesnt “work” – so I again say – I see little justification to get MARRIED (not just “committed”) if your not going to have children .
