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.

“I like diverse neighborhoods like Chinatown and little italy and Bed Stuy and Canarsie and Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights and Upper East Side and Harlem…”
thank you for some sanity. people on here would probably say prospect heights is more diverse than park slope, but they clearly don’t even know what the word diverse means. diverse is closely resembling the demographics of said people. the u.s. as a whole is about 12% black, 20% latin, 70% white, 8 % asian. give or take…
park slope most closely reflects these demographics more than most neighorhoods i can think of.
you people probably think ft. greene is more DIVERSE than park slope, but guess what….50% of the u.s. population isn’t black. you just think that by living in an area where there are as few whites as possible, that somehow you’ve come across the diversity holyland.
you have not. you’re just misinformed.
can we get back to what’s really important here? i go and work a little, come back and find that you people have totally taken us off topic. as a guy it’s impossible to wear sandals and not look like a silly fellow who belongs in a mall somewhere suburby. i mean, have we learned nothing from dockers? also, park slope is way more diverse than bed stuy or even clinton hill. in clinton hill there are a lot of black people, a few white people, and the three awesome mexican guys who run the pizza place on waverly and greene. i love those guys!
you’re an idiot 5:35.
this thread is about people bashing PARK SLOPE MOMS AND THEIR KIDS. quite ridiculously, i might add.
to say it happened on an airplane justifies what everyone who loves park slope has already said. this shit happens EVERYWHERE!!! not only in park slope.
thanks for making the point in such an ignorant way.
I like diverse neighborhoods like Chinatown and little italy and Bed Stuy and Canarsie and Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights and Upper East Side and Harlem…
“but I’ll take that over some baby that takes a bizarrely rancid smelling dump in a restaurant while I’m trying to enjoy my soup. And then of course there’s the mother who takes her sweeeet time get the malodorous kid beyond nose’s reach. ”
i bet this has never happened to you.
Anon at 5:12.Just go easy on the menus, ok? I wonder if the guy in the Boxster with the SLOPE plate was Asian. How funny would that be? Herro?
ft. greene park is not a park. it’s a dirtpatch by day/open air drug market by night.
i’ve scored there many times.
on both counts.
anonymousey 5.08 is an f*ing racist. signed, one of those kids.
funny, fort greene / clinton hill is filled w rich buppies, and no one complains about their stroller-filled streets and fort greene park w/ kids aplenty…
