ditto to everything dear famous a...said about your post, and I was secretly hoping you were one of my friends incognito, but you're at least a decade younger than most of 'em. again, you got the white chicks of us pegged just right, but keep the analysis coming-it needs to be in the air, not in our heads. my friend Louise had you showcased on her blog, and I sure hope yours becomes as integral a part of the Slope--but ya gotta write A LOT...good luck with all the pro bono public service!!!

I got a way different read on bn's post than you did, Cat.

It did not sound to me at all like he was saying you have to have kids to live here, but rather, IF you don't have kids...AND if you don't want to see em everywhere you go, everywhere you eat, and everywhere you shop all the live long day, Park Slope might not be the right hood for you. I happen to love the hell out of Park Slope and I don't have kids, don't plan to have them, and don't particularly like most of em. But we can't afford the common charges in Brooklyn Heights, get bored in DUMBO, h-a-t-e Williamsburg and didn't find any great apts in Carroll Gardens. And so here we are. And its really pretty here, and there are kick ass restaurants like Franny's and Sette and our dog digs the park. Do I ever, under any circumstances walk into Tea Lounge when I see 9 strollers parked in front? uhm...hell to the no.

Park Slope obviously rocks pretty hard, otherwise people wouldn't be talking about it so much, engaging in turf wars over it, writing future hit TV shows about it, and blogging about it non-stop, ad nauseum. I think the point is, if you're head's gonna explode everytime you see a friggin Bugaboo, start packing your shit up now. Otherwise, join in with the rest of us "stupid muthafuckas," realize that you're lucky enough to live in one of the nicest nabes on the planet and smile the next time you pass a kid in the midst of a screaming tornado tantrum in front of Two Boots, safe with the knowledge that you don't have to deal with that sort of shit.

Also bn:
1. Please don't move. For realz. Park slope is in desperate need of a good parsing by someone with just your sort of foul-mouthed, dead on snark. I'm serious. Can't we craigslist something up for you guys?
2. We actually have two libraries! The one on 8th and 6th is just about the crappiest library I've ever been too and everyone who works there hates you and all of your stupid questions. I'm pretty sure my elementary school library was better stocked than that hole. The main library on Grand Army Plaza, however, s-e-r-i-o-u-s-l-y rocks for one reason and one reason only: the free dvds. That place is like blockbuster but all their shit is free. You should seriously check it out.

before there was wall street, there were artists who were single people. one doesn't need to have children to BE in Park Slope and your bias is a bit annoying. I lived in Park Slope for five years (yes, I was still a 'newbie') until I got pushed out two years ago (landlord sold the building; new landlord wanted to rent out apartment for corporate housing!). I didn't think I shouldn't be there because I didn't have children. I thought added community spirit and activism to the neighborhood so please don't tell ME that I need to have children to be there. But, YES, it IS annoying.

Just stumbled upon this blog. Enjoying the posts so far. That icon with the smiling cartoon negro? Where did you get that shit? It's perfect. You shoulda been at the self-fellating Brooklyn Blog Fest, a few weeks ago. You could've torn tha white kids to shit.
