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

  1. Did anyone see that demographic data above?

    Frankly I was surprised there were so many singles in Park Slope.

    We outnumber the milfs and dilfs!!!

    So over all this kiddie crap on 7th Avenue. I hope they turn all these closings into loud ass bars so all the mommies will move to Carroll Gardens where they belong.

  2. Ditto, 7:42.

    No desire.

    I have WAY too much fun and love to travel too much and love my boyfriend and my job and home improvement and shopping and all that for a kid!!!

    Thank goodness others want them, but to be honest…the world is overpopulated as it is.

    A few less kids certainly can’t hurt.

  3. I hate to break it to you guys but there is no “crazy lady; I (5:36, 5:42, 6:01 etc..) am not a mother, wife or a women – I am a man (father and husband).
    However speaking of “carzy” whats with the anger there 7:13? Sounds like our decision not to have children is a wise one for all!
