A reader just tipped us off to the fact that the sale of 17 Prospect Park West, better known as the former home of actors Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany, has now closed. And it looks like the screen stars almost got their full asking price: Public records show that the 5,200-square-foot limestone mansion closed for $8,450,000 on November 17. Highest price ever for Park Slope, right?

Adios amigos. Party to go to.
Things are “that bad”. It’s just that this buyer is not from Wall Street. It’s a Google person.
11217, your standard response of calling everyone you disagree with immature, as you just did in another thread and did with cobblehiller yesterday, is getting old. Not everyone who disagrees with you, and there are a NUMBER of them, is immature. Go back to the 220 thread post yesterday and read the criticisms directed towards you and maybe you can learn from them. Take a look in the mirror (at your runway model great looks) and ask what’s bothering you so much in your own life that is making SO MANY PEOPLE HERE notice a real change for the worse in your attitude. Time for some self-reflection, son.
I certainly added something constructive and to the point in each and every post; something you have yet to do. I knew you’d go back and look through the other posts. I added the parrot and QOTD posts after you started this so I didn’t think they “counted” LOL
My nastiness in QOTD was aimed at the What which was reinforced by evertone else responding to the What..and, nastiness to the What doesn’t count as nastiness!!!!
Please read my 4:41 post here again.
sam…did you click on the link to the original discussion? Those rooms are simply incredible and worth of the “Bricks and Brownstones” book
Biff,
You don’t listen very well. Talking to you is liking talking to a toddler. Should I slow it down for you a little bit…?
I’m not asking that ANYONE stop posting.
I’m asking (as are A NUMBER of other people) that you tone down the 50 comments in a row about nonsense. There are places for that like chatrooms, and instant messenger.
Jokes are great. In moderation. When a thread becomes 150 posts in a row with you, Dave and BRG stroking each other’s genitals about how funny you think you are, it gets a little old for the rest of the crowd.
The top of the market does not seem to be hurting any. That at least is a positive sign. This mansion is a little too cold and formal for may taste. I love it when I don’t like houses I couldn’t afford anyway. I prefer the other limestone mansion on Montgomery Pl. Was that the one that some people questioned the term “mansion”?
That was a funny back and forth. BRG had the best comment something like “if it isn’t the Breakers, it isn’t a mansion in my book”.
“I am allowed to post whatever I want also…just like you are.”
11217, please remember that you’re the one trying to get us to stop posting, not vice versa.
“I never said, nor would I ever say someone can’t post whatever they want, as many times as they want to.”
No, you just run around counting their posts and complaining about it.
“I am simply stating that you guys are starting to annoy the freak out of me and it seems a number of other really great brownstoner posters.”
I like facts, 11217. Can you please go to each thread and take a poll and count the exact number of posters we’re annoying. We’ll compare it to the number you’ve annoyed over the past few weeks.
Regardless, you’ve actually achieved what you wanted. You didn’t bully us, but you’ve bored me out of this thread. Congratulations. Now you can run wild posting on topic.
Just trying to point out some facts, Biff.
I know you don’t like those, but I am allowed to post whatever I want also…just like you are.
I never said, nor would I ever say someone can’t post whatever they want, as many times as they want to.
I am simply stating that you guys are starting to annoy the freak out of me and it seems a number of other really great brownstoner posters.
That’s all.
If you don’t see it, you’re just being ridiculous.
11217, last I checked, we’re allowed to post wherever we want. If you hate the nonsense so much and have something to add, why don’t you go join an active thread that is staying on a topic you’re interested in instead of going all over the place counting DIBS’ comments? Seriously.
