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.

Instead of all the “mandal” hate, how about talking about the thing NOBODY has mentioned yet on this thread. And that is dudes wearing CROCS! They’re cute on a 4-year old going to the beach, but on a 40 year old guy trolling the Slope? Oh, the humanity! AAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
The real problem with Park Slopers is that they think Hillary Clinton would make a good president.
I’ve also heard that people crap roses in Clinton hill. It must be quite a place.
I live in Park Slope, but only because I can’t afford to live in Manhattan to dream of living in Paris.
No, really I live in PS but I’m moving to Clinton Hill. I can’t figure out if it’s a move up or down or lateraly, but I don’t really care. Paris would be cool too.
My growing distatste of PS made me want to move but now I am noticing all the reasons that I moved to PS in the first place- Grand Army Plaza is beautiful with the library and the museum and the park and the gardens. . . but I hear that there are dance parties in the park in the new neighborhood. Do you hear me, dancing outside! How amazingly joyful is that! Match that PS.
I live in Manhattan, but I only live here because I couldn’t afford a place in Paris.
Thanks, peace out.
Great post, Park Sloper– you done won me over. xoxo

Read carefully and than type. I said I have fellow parent friends who live in PS and that I am on the PS boards but that I don’t actually live in PS. I live in BH. How is that being self-congratulatory?
This board is starting to have the distasteful flavor of curb.com
Have a nice day “Anonymous”
i like it when the words “judgmental” and “prick” are used next to each other. it makes me giggle.
