Novo Egg Man Strikes Again!
On Saturday a reader sent in the following note about the latest egging incident at the dog run underneath the Novo condo: “I was at the Park Slope Dog Run in Washington Park this evening at 7.45pm, and an egg was once again thrown from the condo, and almost hit my husband…My dog barked at…
On Saturday a reader sent in the following note about the latest egging incident at the dog run underneath the Novo condo: “I was at the Park Slope Dog Run in Washington Park this evening at 7.45pm, and an egg was once again thrown from the condo, and almost hit my husband…My dog barked at the other dog, as dogs do, and suddenly an egg came from the sky landing on the ground next to my husband. He’s sure that if it had hit him, he would have been hurt. I live opposite the school neighbouring the dog park. I have kids screaming outside my apartment most of the time. I moved there, I cannot complain about noise in the neighbourhood…” As it turns out, the reader was well within her rights to be using the dog run at 7:45: We incorrectly reported in the past that the run closes at sundown (because that’s what the Parks Dept. posters inside of it say) but, according to Kim Maier, the executive director of the park’s Old Stone House, the run was actually built to be accessible 24 hours a day even though the official closing time of the park as a whole is 10 p.m. (Yes, it’s confusing.) Maier also says that the Novo’s board and the precinct have been notified about the latest egging. Perhaps Park Slope’s crazed egg chucker will soon be brought to justice…

Slope Dog Run Egging On At Least One Novo Resident [Brownstoner]
Yeah fsrg, I’m sure I made up this email to get attention on Brownestoner? Pretty much my ambition. High hopes for myself. And are you actually serious about it being hard to hit the dog park from Novo? Have you been there?
I am not a yuppie, I don’t get calls from anyone!

This is the only problem occurring regarding the dog run. Not enough of a reason to move a dog run.
i got hit with an egg on my head from an apartment building as a kid on mischief night. it hurt. really bad. it could also blind you if it hits your eye in the right place. not cool to throw eggs.. seriously just stick to water balloons.
*rob*
Hurt??? from an egg?
So because of faulty research, it appears that ALL the dozens of posters in the previous threads who said it was OK since there was a closing time are incorrect.
SF, I agree, and may I point out that Corcoran used the presence of a dog run in their original ad materials promoting the Novo. See here:

fsrq, clearly you have been deprived as a child. If you can’t hit a target the size of a dog run from even the top floor of the Novo, you have never had fun.
Agreed, this probably adolescent hijinks.
Geez, we used to hang out of an 11th floor Park Avenue window and drop spit bombs onto the fancy people below.
touché rob, I admit I did crack a large smile while posting my original comment and thinking of past misdeeds.

Happens all of the time in the burbs. We used to throw water balloons at people out the window when our parents turned their back. Very Very funny – When you are 12.
1.) it doesnt just happen in the burbs, it happens in the city as well.
and
2.) it’s also just as funny at 32 as it is as 12

its probably someone on brownstoner looking for attention, knowing that a tossed egg will get him/her a posting with massive comments.
Seriusly though – Its someones rotten kid having fun at other’s expense. Happens all of the time in the burbs. We used to throw water balloons at people out the window when our parents turned their back. Very Very funny – When you are 12.
