4th Ave's New 'Littermark'
Which begs the question, what is the most-littered sidewalk in Park Slope? This message was scrawled on the ads outside the site on 4th and 3rd Street that was supposedly going to be turned into a Starbucks but instead has gone to the worms. 4th Ave Pit Undergoing Slight Improvement [Brownstoner] StreetLevel: Starbucks Sweet on…

American Apparel = hipster Gap.
I don’t know how the store in Brooklyn survives. The 3 or 4 times I’ve been in it I’m the only person in the store. Most of AA’s clothes are unwearable for any woman but a size 2 or some tacky person with no problem showing bulges and pantylines. And it’s not like I’m big, I wear a 6. The cut is beyond too tight and the fabrics are cheap.
I moved to the Slope from Manhattan (via Northern California) a few years ago and one thing I can say with certainty is that Park Slopers are aggressively overly opinionated brooklyn snobs. It might be there is a mix of older hippies or repressed brooklynites with class envy, or just to many people priced out of Manhattan. Non the less I find that I love the area, irrespective of all the over educated, over feed, and under sexually satisfied slopers.
Please people, lose weight and have sex.

Would you believe that the line about the 2nd most littered sidewalk is a Get Smart homage?
(Sorry about that, Chief)
AA clothes look horrible & artificial. Remind me of this old comedy sketch:

God, I hate American Apparel ads too. They are SO offensive. I would not mind seeing them go down.
also no offense but all cities DO need lil dirty blocks like this. an entire city should not be all clean and sanitized, that would suck. dont you ever like walking down a dirty block and be like ahhhh. there’s something right about it. that probably sounds crazy and im not saying an entire city SHOULD be gritty and gross, but you need these little pockets for some people who enjoy grit to unwind and recuperate from all the plasticized boring hyper dull cleanliness.
despite what they say, cleanliness is NOT always next to godliness. sometimes god likes a little funk as well.

am i the only one who hopes the decade ends with american apparel going out of business and their stupid guady ads and billboards just gtfa? im not a prude, but im so tired of seeing these fugly pasty untoned dead in the eyes “models” plasterded all over the place on the streets and in all print ads?
ill take a starbucks over an american apparel ANYDAY and that says something!

Yes, the torn Rite Aid bags stuck in the razor wire certainly complete the look. There was a guy who used to go around Park Slope in the 1990’s taking shopping bags out of trees, he was featured in the film “Blue in the Face,” the comedic sequel to “Smoke.”
