Slope Relic: Mysterious Dump on Fifth Avenue [Brownstoner] GMAP DOB
Well, Jack, I did live “in NYC in the 1970s./1980s and saw REAL decrepit buildings.” In fact, I lived right around where these buildings are and now do so again. And these POS have been a blight for 30 years. “Slope Eyesore May Have Timely End?” Well past time, if you ask me.
12:28 writes …”socio-economic-bitterness disguised as nostalgia.”
That’s one to write down and remember. Thanks for coming up with that.
Flatbushwhacker and Jack should go hang-out in the PJs in the Bronx before they lose their charm … you know .. pre-yuppie invasion.
Idiots.
Yes, bring back the good old days of drugs, dollar stores and guys hanging outside the liquor store.
People like this are so ignorant .. Did anyone read the article that profiles most of the renters in Park Slope?! Mostly creative types in their late 20’s and early 30’s.
Flatbushwhacker and Jack drivel is just socio-economic-bitterness disguised as nostalgia.
More yuppies ruining the character of the neighborhood, because everything has to change for them
Real new yorkers crap in doorways, if you don’t like it you should go back to ohio
What will happen to our culture
Yes, how we all long for the old Fifth Avenue.
Not.
I always thought it contributed to the edginess of the neighborhood.
1.4 mil, maybe 1.2 with the down turned economy.

That Legion Hall next door is pretty much the last vestige of old South Brooklyn that hasn’t yet succumbed to the yuppie infestation of 5th Avenue.
baaaack in my day we had REAL eyesores!
this is like a minor eye irritation or insignificant corneal abrasion … no way is it a real sore.
darn youngsters don’t know an eyesore from a buggy whip, I say.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Jack, please STFU.
looks like an eyesore to me…worse than a lot in Bed Stuy!
