Park Slope Stroller Nazi Story Getting a Little Stale
We’re not exactly sure why this was a front-page article the the NY Times Sunday Real Estate section—seems more like City section material to us—but, there it was, another article making light of the number of strollers (and implicit bourgeois existence of their pushers) in Park Slope.

We’re not exactly sure why this was a front-page article the the NY Times Sunday Real Estate section—seems more like City section material to us—but, there it was, another article making light of the number of strollers (and implicit bourgeois existence of their pushers) in Park Slope. The fact that there are a lot of young families (some of whose matriarchs aren’t averse to a little public nursing) in Park Slope just ain’t news anymore, so let’s just settle the fight for the soul of the slope once and for all in the hopes that another article never has to be written on the subject. In the words of The Times article, is Park Slope “Hipster Hell” or “Parent Heaven”? Update: As of 4:30 today, there were 216 votes for Parent Heaven and 158 votes for Hipster Hell.

Genius idea.
All of you, get a camera and just TAPE THAT SHIT. If that doesn’t bring an ounce of self-awereness into the self-entitlement cocktail, I dont know what will.
Oh the hysterical insanity! It must be the heat! Don’t forget folks, concert in Prospect Park at 8:00pm tonight, fireworks afterwards, the fun-kind!… bring some non-perishable food items along for the food drive!
Then get a toe-job!
I have to laugh whenever I hear a complaint about stroller entitlement on the sidewalk. Yes, I do push a stroller, but I’m polite about it and my footprint is much smaller than the child-free folks who walk four abreast and stop dead in the middle of the sidewalk to have a chat (while glaring at me as I go around them) or those who ride their bikes on the sidewalks.
40-yr old PS’er wearing crocs b/c I hate my toes.
please do not divert the importance of this dialogue by introducing crocs into the conversation. crocs are a completely different thing altogether worthy of another thread. mr. brownstoner was nice enough to introduce the idea of men wearing sandals and ask us what we think of it and i think, out of respect to mr. brownstoner and this nice blog that he has created, that we should stick to that subject. men should not wear sandals because they just don’t look good. but those mexicans at that pizza place on waverly and greene? those guys are awesome!
I just want them to stay out of bars. I used to enjoy Friday nights at the 4th Avenue Pub (not even PS, technically) until the stroller moms and dads took over. What the eff??? I already avoid the Tea Lounge and Two Boots (where they serve alcohol) because of all the rugrats, can’t I at least have a kid-free bar? Booze it up in front of your kids at home.
The guys mostly seem like they could get their butts whooped by their wives.
Men wearing crocs? Thank God I have never seen this. Any man who wears crocs should be pistol whipped and his house burned to the ground.
