From what we gather, the rumors of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick being the mystery buyers of the Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany mansion on Prospect Park West are not true. The famous Sex and the City actress does have a new connection to street overlooking the park: She’s optioned the rights to Amy Sohn’s new novel called, not surprisingly, Prospect Park West, and is planning to create a television series out of it. According to MTV, the book “follows four mothers living in the baby-buggie-friendly borough of Brooklyn, and is described as a mix of ‘sex, parenthood and celebrity.'”
“Rob, if you can reverse it to what it was like circa early-mid 80’s, I’ll gladly move back!”
Park Slope had already blown past the yuppification point of no return by the mid-1980s.
“Give the normal folks here some credit, there really are alot of non-annoying-yuppie-obsessive-parents still around.”
every neighborhood in nyc has it’s stereotype – it’s not limited to park slope.
Is this post a joke? No, seriously.

Funniest Brownstoner thread EVER.
I say they just remake The Bugaloos as The Bugaboos.
Replace Martha Raye as Benita Bizarre with SJP as Benita Brownstone and the series practically writes itself.
“If people stereotype an affluent neighborhood this savagely, I really don’t want to see any threads on brownsville.”
good point man.
I don’t get it. I’ve lived in Park Slope my entire life and yes it has changed (as all places do). There are certainly more annoying people than there used to be and the stereotypes that run amok about slopers have some merit, but are certainly not exclusive to this hood.
I won’t go with the expected “you’re just hating cuz you’re jealous”, but come on already. Give the normal folks here some credit, there really are alot of non-annoying-yuppie-obsessive-parents still around.

Thanks for letting me vent y’all
And oh yeah, this show sounds like the worst idea ever (well not THE worst, but close)
My happiness with leaving Park Slope increases with every passing day.
